No, thanks. If I wished that sort of untyped design, there would be C++ and
dynamically typed languages at my disposal. I don't want untyped
containers. I would keep boxes for apples and barrels for herrings in
separate rooms.

What kind of operations on containers do you have in mind,
as opposed to operations focussing on their elements?

1. Passing as a parameter
2. Copying
3. Merging
4. Slicing
5. Closures and simultaneous traversal of two or more containers
6. Relational operations on sets of containers
....
