[haXe] 1.15 question?

[Franco Ponticelli]

If I understood it correctly, what it is prevented is this:

class A<T> {
  public static function f(m : T) : T {
    // ...
  }
}

And not this:

class A {
  public static function f<T>(m : T) : T {
    // ...
  }
}

In practice you loose nothing and the compiler cannot be misguided by a
class type parameter where this does not really make too much sense.
