Don't consider what i say a personal attack- in the end it is a stylistic matter. If you ant to build a filter system using the diamond operator, go right ahead- but again, it's simply a matter of taste, not code quality or obfuscation. Honestly, the only reason I mentioned m is because I haven't seen it in code for quite a while and you will never encounter a situation where it is required.
