Yes, but do you think this is more verbose unnecessarily? Because the syntax TFoo<T> (I mean this "<>") show us that is a generic, don't? The Lazarus also has some troubles with the code completion using this: TFoo = class(TInterfacedObject, specialize ICloneable<TFoo>) Sometimes the IDE shows an error in interface declaration, but compiles. So, to not receive these errors I have to create a new type: TFoo = class; //forward IFooCloneable = specialize ICloneable<TFoo>; TFoo = class(TInterfacedObject, IFooCloneable) //... end; ...making even more verbose.
