    A type argument for a parameterized type is not limited to a concrete
    class or interface. Java allows the use of type wildcards to serve as
    type arguments for parameterized types. Wildcards are type arguments
    in the form “?”, possibly with an upper or lower bound. Given that the
    exact type represented by a wildcard is unknown, restrictions are
    placed on the type of methods that may be called on object of the
    parameterized type.
