Yeah I think such a method would provide value.

> Method get() of class WTKXSerializer returns value of type Object, you see:
> http://incubator.apache.org/pivot/1.3/docs/api/org/apache/pivot/wtkx/WTKXSerializer.html#get(java.lang.String)
> As demostrated in documentation it cause code like this: (http://incubator.apache.org/pivot/1.3/tutorials/push_buttons.html)
>   private PushButton pushButton = null;
>    ...
>   pushButton = (PushButton)wtkxSerializer.get("pushButton");
> In an alternative way, get() method may be declared as:
>   <T> T get(String key){
>      //implementation
>   }
> This way client code will be just:
>   pushButton = wtkxSerializer.get("pushButton");
> so the type-case will be implicit. This feature is widely used in HtmlUnit framework and I find it quite neat.
> May be it coult be adopted to pivot project :)
