Proposal: Access to Generic Type Parameters at Compile-Time

[Bruce Chapman & Barbara Carey]

I concur with Joe here. I have seen some code with many redundant 
generic type parameters.

Unfortunately the tools like findbugs, checkstyle and PMD that we'd 
expect to point out other oversights don't do a very good job in this 
regard.
