Hi David, [collections] has had generics in its trunk for years, but none of its developers, myself included, have had time to get this rather large codebase fully ready for a release. In any event, the general idea in Commons is that [collections]' functor code is semi-deprecated; we will recommend instead the use of the [functor] component AFTER we get *that* component ready for release.
