But if that's true, then there's no reason for it to use interfaces,
either, is there? :) It seems like a double standard to say, "well,
sometimes you have quick-and-dirty code that doesn't need extensibility",
and then later complain that it should be able to check for an interface,
instead of using either a concrete type or an overload or generic.
That is, I don't think you can use the quick'n'dirty case simultaneously as
an argument against overloads and *for* interfaces. :)
