An open challenge for the newsgroup at large, while I'm thinking about
this:

I'm trying to use JMock to create a mock instance of a generic
interface (EventDispatcher<T>).  This is, quite obviously, the eight-
lane-express highway to hell, since generics and mockery do not mix in
any way.

While it's correct,
 EventDispatcher<Foo> fooMock = mock (EventDispatcher.class)
generates an unchecked cast warning, which is ugly.  Harmless, but
ugly.  The challenge is to create a type signature for mock(Class c)
that allows this to succeed without warnings without allowing
nonsensical mocks like

String mockString = mock (CharSequence.class)

.

My initial attempt was this signature, which allows both the former
and the latter:

 <C, T extends C> T mock (Class<C> c)

Any thoughts?
