The question is far from stupid. However, I'd need a very very good reason
to support templating as it can be found in C++.
For a discussion of some issues related to templates in C++, read this
article by Yossi Kreinin.
<http://www.yosefk.com/blog/oo-c-is-passable.html>As for type safety
(e.g. for collections), I'm thinking of implementing
generics somewhat like in Java.
What I'd be very interested in, though, is what you feel you'd need
templates/metaprog for, so maybe we can think of another, simpler, more
elegant way to achieve it.
