 Let's say I have a template an overview page - a page that shows an overview of child items - and I need a Glass Mapper model of that.
 This overview page can be used to display different type of child items.
 Child items also have Glass Mapper models.

 So I have:
 - News items, with the model NewsItemModel
 - Blog items, with the model BlogItemModel
 - Overview items, with the model OverviewPageModel

 Now I would like the OverviewPageModel to be of a generic type: OverviewPageModel<T>
 The type can be any of the item models that can be displayed in the overview.
 So I would get: OverviewPageModel<NewsItemModel>

 At the moment, this is impossible with Glass Mapper.
 When you try to create a generic model, an exception will be thrown in Glass.Sitecore.Mapper.Context.CreateConstructorDelegates by the DynamicMethod() constructor.
 That happens because DynamicMethod() does not support generic classes, as far as I can see now.
