Me 2 :-(

Therefore my questions about the values in concrete classes, whose 
answers could shed a light on the according use in macro expansion and 
generics. Probably generics require both information, about the 
locations of the declarations and their extensions, in order to generate 
useful error messages. But I never used generics myself, and 
consequently don't know anything about possible problems...
