here I am! sorry I'm late but just terminated to have dinner :P I think that specifying the <extending Object> can be omitted, and Paul's suggestion is the way to go, the code is more readable.
The last added method can be improved, putting the K as argument instead of String and <T extends V> as a strict check for output argument: public interface Context<K, V> extends Map<K, V> { <T extends V> T retrieve(K key); } what I think is not so nice to have, is the Command, Filter, Chain, ..., notation that, getting Context as argument in their methods, would require generics... Lets' think about it, thanks for sharing your thoughts!!!
