Re: Can this callback mechanism be generified?

I agree this part is easier to read, I just don't see the rest of the
code much improved (pulling the type by name from the interface name was
a pretty good trick. With luck, we'll get reifiable types in Java 7 and
then nonsense like that will be unneeded.)
I guess I don't see the advantage of Class<?> over just Class, when
you're going to cast it yourself anyway. Given the nature of the
problem, the second form seems more clear and correct -- it says "I'm
not using generics, I'm tracking the type of Class myself." Class<?>
implies to me that you can't and won't resolve the type of Class<C> further.
I might be off base here, I haven't had a need to play around with
generic beyond basic functions, so please take this as discussion, not
dogma.
