Right. Well, the good thing about Turing-complete languages is that they 
can do everything. The bad part is... they can do everything. SQL is so 
damn efficient precisely *because* there are things it can't do.

Java's generics [if they anything like any other language] are nowhere 
near Turing-complete, which makes them much easier to handle. [And 
harder to misuse.]
