OK; is it accurate to say that the Class argument could have been
discarded entirely? Not arguing that it should, just that Type is a
superset of Class, so you really only NEED that one argument. Just
trying to cement my understanding.
(Would the Type argument in your example be String, or List<String>?
Presumably the latter.)
