You clarified that this means the compiler actively rejects types like List<Point>. Not clear to me what would prompt that—it's more work for the compiler, the JVM doesn't care either way, and it's easy for users to work around (use a raw type).

But the quality of language support will be "crappy ad-hoc" anyway, so, you know, whatever works. I'm just happy to have a compiler at all!
