I thought it was surprising that T didn’t enforce the same type for all list entries. For example, you can also pass a mix of types to the function.

void main() {
  var myList = toList(1, 3.14, 'bar');
  print(myList);
}

List<T> toList<T>(T item1, T item2, T item3) {
  return <T>[item1, item2, item3];
}

So because I’m passing in different types, the T effectively becomes dynamic at runtime?
