It has been part of FPC from the beginning of generics. It allows the parser to

type declarations could contain specializations, but nowadays with support for inline
specializations this is especially true as something with "<" in it is not
always easy to differentiate between a specialization and an expression. Case in point:
Delphi mode doesn't yet support all kinds of expressions containing specializations that
mode ObjFPC supports.
Then maybe it could be optional within type declarations? Delphi mode achieves
this so I think ObjFPC could also. Yet another modeswitch like “autoderef”? :)
No. The generic keywords are part of mode ObjFPC. The only thing I plan
to do is to move the whole idea of generic keywords to a modeswitch, but
that is neither here nor there currently.
