It's also possible to create a generic descendent of TCollection, where the only duplicated code is the property override. This is probably the best of both worlds: reusing the TCollection while moving to generics.

... The difference is mainly that in the case of TCollection(Item) you need to override the items property; With generics, you can skip this step. At the expense of copying the whole TCollection code each time you create a specialized descendent.
