Seemingly it is done that way. <br>

I rather often did a kind of "Generics" in ANSI C by using Macros.
It's catastrophic for code writing and for debugging but does not
impose any performance issues. <br>

I suppose there is a reason why in Pascal Generics are not
translated in multiple dedicatedly typed code snippets at compile
time. <br>
