Hmmm, I thought letting that dummy sym pass through would have lots of adverse

In that case the necessary parts would need to be made more resilient.
As a general matter could you explain the reasoning behind
resolve_generic_dummysym()?
The compiler tries to use as much as possible a non-generic symbol. E.g.
if there is a TTest<> in the current unit and a non-generic TTest in
another the compiler uses the latter even if a "<" follows. The real
generic symbol will be found in generate_specialization_phase1 (or
_phase2?) as only that will know the real amount of generic type parameters.
