> I did not say "generics".

FYI if you’re talking about compile-time programming and you use the word “generic“ (as you did, in the context of a generic sort, which actually does have a meaning related to generics, as the routine works on containers of any type), note that this is a well-established term, which could be confusing if you actually are referring to something else.
