Re: Generics!

I don't blame them. It's a problem that will go away in a year or two at the latest, when everyone's switched over to generics-supporting compiler versions. Why put Apple engineering resources on this and commit them to maintaining this code officially when those of us who actually need this (and most of us will probably not build against two Xcode versions for long) can just copy-and-paste the 9 lines below.

Also, if it's added to Foundation now, what help is it to people? Newer Xcode versions already have generics support in the compiler, and older Xcode versions will be missing the version of the Foundation headers that contains these macros.
