Well we don't want to turn this into a language comparison thread do we,
that might upset too many people but I can't remember ever writing a
method that took an Object as argument, you just can't do that much with
an Object.
In the pre-Java-1.5 days, functions that took Objects were *very*
common;
Well the Collections framework does expose methods that take Objects but
generally you override certain methods in class Object when you want to
compare Objects, in fact String comparison is a really interesting area
due to the way Java internalizes Strings at compile time... but that is
way to off topic for here.
