Yep! But not in generics...the generic parameter (as far as the compiler is concerned) derives directly from object unless it is constrained so you can't use methods other than those that apply to object.

And you can't constrain to basic types...There's an interesting interview covering this here: http://www.artima.com/intv/generics.html[^]
