Why is the local variable block needed?
It is not. I asked the same question. It was added for symmetry
reasons: if a local type block is allowed, then a var block should
also be allowed.
But they are not different from local fields.
Strange. ok.
What local types are/will be allowed?
For example, this is currently not allowed:
generic TTree<T> = class(TObject)
type public
TTreeNode = specialize TNode<T>;
end;
And this neither:
generic TTree<T> = class(TObject)
type public
TTreeNode = class
Data: T;
end;
end;
OTOH records and pointers are allowed.
Will this stay, or is this just not yet implemented?
Is there a need to support this?
