Take generics, which you mentioned. type generic TSomething<T> = class is worse than type TSomething<T> = class The only reason I can see having put the word "generic" in front of the identifier, something which Pascal has never done (put keywords in front of identifiers when declaring types), was to make it easier for the compiler author. That is to say, negate the need to look ahead.
