Except where have they done that? They've had 40 years and their solution to the C binary function error code return problem was... to add a special way to return an error code. There have been superior solutions to this for 20 years at least.

How long have we known about the value of generics?

To me, the fact that they can't figure out how to solve this isn't remotely suprising.
