Again, there is no such thing as a "general component". The moment you
define a component's interface, for example, it has become specific and
restricted. 

In order for a component to be "general", it would have to handle *any*
input and produce *any* output and maintain *any* internal state. It can't
be specific about anything, and you have to admit that is neither useful nor
realistic.
