Ok, lets put it blunt. It is absolutely not important to have templates at

templates.
That is true. Yet I really like the type-safety of templates. Advantages
include:
- you have to type less type

Noticed that Procedure fpc_AnsiStr_Decr_Ref (Var S : Pointer); is not

Why should FPC use generics ???
Because it is more readable. is an operator and therefore should not
be used as bracket in generic definition.
That b.s. will break the Delphi code base!

There are some files which are necessary. As example,

Ok, to prove this, I've added some ugly examples posted on IRC in the
wiki. Look at the bottom of generic keyword syntax examples.
Anyone an idea ? :-)

Pro reason will probably be: compatibility.
Pro generic will probably be: more Pascal-alike/readability.

Why not if it is better readable and in the parser? None of the template

Ok I've posted under Suggestion 2 a slightly modified syntax. Let me
