I just wanted to get some opinions on this as to whether this is a bug. Generics in 2.7.x trunk allows units which use a generic class defined in another unit can access protected members.
Example: unit A; type TFoo<T> = class protected Bar: T; end; <-- snip to next unit --> unit B; uses A; Foo: TFoo<Integer>; ... Foo.Bar := 42; // Code in unit B can access protected members of TFoo. Should the above line generate a compiler error instead? That is ... TFoo.Bar shouldn't visible unless your code is in Unit A or in a method of a class which inherits TFoo<T>?
