To be clear: part with Generics.* is just irony. Like below proposition:

Can I add module SmartPointers.pp and few other modules as test to the RTL?
I have few features (rather frickle features) and I want to know of
critical failures as early as possible.

Looks like we have new *best practice* for new language features and new
condition to add the module to RTL :)

...

Sven, seriously? I'm a confused and disgusted.
