+## About generics:
+## * Generics are Nim's means to parametrize procs
+## * Type safe containers.
+## * Generics are checked when you instantiate them mostly.
+## * Generics are duck typed and very macro like.
+## * Generics are obeying module scope.
+## * Generics are a type based macro system on top of another macro system.
+## * Generics are some what similar to c++ templates
+## * Generics are typechecked after expansion.
+## * Generics are a way to create code that works on a range of type.
+## * The usage of T within the generic function is what defines the typeclass so to speak.
