Hi Sven, Not to "debate" the syntax, but just ask :-)
1) in my second example: proc_ints: specialize ProcessArray<LongInt>; it is "specialized". Why this is still not consistent ? 2) in delphi mode, "specialize" is not required anywhere, right? If so, can you write an example of your new proposal in delphi mode? btw, my last experience with Delphi is 6 or 7, there was no generics yet.
