Depends on what you mean by "better"---more OOPish? What you have in 
mind does not work in the way you wrote it (using a string to pass the 
method name), though I guess it can be done for an intrinsic in many 
different ways. For a non-intrinsic, in OOP land, I believe that passing 
methods as arguments to methods is done via "delegates". I do not know 
if there is some equivalent for generics. It seems non-trivial...
