Hello Anthony.
Thanks for your proposal.
I'm a bit surprised of Delphi chosen syntax because
"TList<T>=class ..." breaks Pascal usual type declaration
"Id=type;" and "<T>=" may be confused with greater or equal operator.
Have you some documentation available on Internet?
The one I found is Delphi Object Pascal Language Guide, version 7, 2002.
http://docs.codegear.com/products/rad_studio/delphi7/
D7_DevelopersGuide.pdf
Generic types are not described in it ;-(
Best, Pascal.

manual.
I haven't used generics in FPC, but really have to ask, is they
keyword generic really necessary? Shouldn't generics be declared like
this:
type
TList<T> = class
private
...
public
function Add: T;
procedure Remove(Item: T);
property Item[Index: Integer]: T read Get write Put; default;
end;
I believe this makes the most sense, and it's also how they are
declared in Delphi.
It would be a real shame to create more Delphi incompatibilities.
