You still haven't provided any argument why generics is indispensable. The reason why I am no longer sure about my position in this issue is because -while I agree that generics is useful- I don't think that generics is essential. In fact, all of C++ features are useful and implemented in a very efficient manner, but take a look what happened when you slab that many features together. If you can do away with less, I think you should go for less. The trouble is deprecating language features is a lot harder than deprecating APIs in the standard library, while programming fads come and go.
