message to os-help, where morons like me have time to answer
questions in place of more qualified people that have no time.

Just realized I said something stupid:
Parametric polymorphic is the feature of Pizza that will enable you
to avoid building useless hierarchy of class and avoid rewriting
the same stuff with small modifications.

functions that receive and/or return functions (called higher-order
functions by some) is an other features that Pizza add to Java.

Parametric polymorphism basically means that a function can be
applied to 'any' type of argument.

That prove that I don't know what I say, and that you should not
take my suggestion too seriously, still, I am able to see my errors
so I must not be that bad.
