Hehe. Yep, I also think, it would be a good idea to collect some
generics. The main challenge will be to find a common level of
abstraction. The latest classes I wrote are probably a bit too
flexible, which makes them less convenient to use. Earlier ones were
very simple to use (with like one and only one template parameter), but
were not applicable (or less performant,...) in some situations. I'm
still struggling to find the balance.
