While I understand and appreciate your point, I've often found that
doing this in 2 steps is just not feasible in many circumstances. You
can do it while you're actually working on the code, but if you try
doing it is two steps you'll end up doing your main work, and not
bothering to come back later to do the generics work.

If it were possible to set aside time to go through and do all the
generics work with no other imperatives, then I'm sure it would have
been done before now.

While it would be great to have everything happen separately, I'd
prefer to see it happen in this mixed up way rather than not at all.
