The problem here is that ChannelFactory is a CLR generic type, which is
specialized at run-time. So I'm really looking for a way to pass type
parameter(s) to the type at construction time. So while I like your first
example, I'm not sure how I could extend it to cover an arbitrary number of
type parameters.

Here's a simple example (again with the illegal angle bracket syntax):

dict =3D Dictionary<int, string>.new
