Okay Sven I'll be using the bug tracker with the "generics" to assist in

I also experienced some different problems with classes which implement

It seems there is a problem with fpc generics in that you cannot use a
generic as a type parameter. e.g type TDictionary =

Yes, this is a known problem and

for years but they still fail easily. Consider the Delphi mode below, I get
"Error: Generics without specialization cannot be used as a type for a
variable"
I could easily write up a whole bunch of test cases were generic sti
