Well.. there's no explicit typing anywhere, so the concept of a `generic'
makes no sense. *Everything* is generic, as far as duck-typing works.

Think of an example of a generic in C#, C++,
any-other-language-that-has-them-I-don't-know -- the code works generically
in Ruby, too! Look up `duck typing' to get an idea about it.

Cheers,
Arlen
