Instantiating sObject Lists

Hi,
     Is there anyway to instantiate sObject lists? i.e.

List <sobject> updates = new List <sobject>();

I can see lots of situations where it would be usefull to pass concrete sobjects cast as sObject typed arguments and work with them in lists / collections. Might bend the boundery between a strongly and weakly typed language but handy all the same.

currently you must specify which sobject you want a list of.

you could declare a class to hold one of each type you desire, then make a list of that

class s_object { Contact c; Account a; Case s; }

then you can build lists of s_object, and access the contents depending on which you have stored there.
