> Over in SOLR-2288, rmuir made some good points about locking down the NamedList API to protect people...
> {quote}
> I looked at your patch, and personally I think NamedList should really be type-safe.
> If users want to use it in a type-unsafe way, thats fine, but *the container itself shouldn't be List<Object>*.

> Separately, i just want to say the following about NamedList:
> All uses of this API should really be reviewed. I'm quite aware that it warns you about the fact that its slow for certain operations,
> but in my opinion these *slow operations such as get(String, int) should be deprecated and removed*.
> Any users that are using NamedList in this way, especially in loops, are very likely using the wrong datastructure.
