Can you please elaborate what you mean with variance? I see some practical use cases for covariance of a method with return type object, but I don't see how contravariance could be achieved for parameters of type object. If your suggestion is only about invariance of object return types, I'm not sure if this very special case would make sense (for consistency reasons).
