[fpc-pascal] Generics feature status

[Anthony Walter]

Is this true? I'd really like to see generics that with a mode where it is
possible to say with the following syntax (compatible with Delphi):

type
  IDelegate<T> = interface
    procedure Add(const Handler: T);
    procedure Remove(const Handler: T);
  end;

And then specialize using the following syntax:

type
  INotifyDelegate = IDelegate<TNotifyEvent>;

Also, generic constraints are needed:

type
  TComponentTool<T: TComponent> = class(TObject)
  public
    procedure DoSomething(const C: T);
  end;
