Your class is similar to an EnumSet in terms of its Generics. So I
had a peek at how EnumSet does this

public abstract class EnumSet<E extends Enum<E>> extends
AbstractSet<E>
implements Cloneable, java.io.Serializable

This would allow the OP to eliminate the illegal "T.values()" expression and just call "values()".
