Personally I don't think a completely, um, generic version of generics is
needed. But something like a list comprehension, possibly specifically
limited to "select"/"map" type comprehensions which do not change slice or
map length, would be invaluable. There's already a lot of special magic
around slices and maps, so adding more wouldn't be as world-changing as
adding it everywhere else (in both good and bad ways), while enabling one
to write a lot of useful list-processing utilities once instead of several
times. Since most of real-life software engineering turns into list
processing at some point, that would be super nice.
