Mark, how hard is it to implement per-method generics?

In Java you can do something like this:

public <T> void someMethod(T foo) {
  // do something with foo
}

And then:

someMethod("foo"); // calls a <String> version of someMethod
someMethod(1); // calls an <Integer> version (autoboxed)
someMethod(new JPanel()); // calls a <JPanel> version
