BTW,
what woud be the problem with
type
TMySpecificClass = TGenericClass(TObject, Integer);
Or:
<code>
type
TGenericCollection = generic(T: TCollectionItem) class(TComponent)
...implement TCollection and use T
end;
TCollection = TGenericCollection of (TCollectionItem);
TFieldDefs = TGenericCollection of (TFieldDef);
</code>
And:
<code>
type
TGenericList = generic(T: PtrInt) class(TObject)
...implement TList and use PtrInt size for code generation
end;
TList = TGenericList of (Pointer);
</code>
Combining some of the wiki ideas, and has no "evil" <> characters :-).
Probably TFieldDefs adds functionality to TCollection, but it was
first example I came up with.
Implementation of TGenericCollection can be compiled as if (T:
TCollectionItem) were used.
Would this solve the circular dependency ? It seems so to me, because
one knows at least as much as in current implementation of these
classes, but I'm no compiler engineer.

Are the () required? Why not TSomeList = TGenericList of Pointer; ?
