I had the same feeling when I found that generics are stored as TFoo<,> 
in the delphy symtable and therefore it is possible to have TFoo, 
TFoo<T>, TFoo<T1,T2>, TFoo<T1,T2,T3> types in the same unit :)

For some reason the visibility is completely ignored here. I can add a 
class helper to the strict private or even move it to another unit - it 
is always visible.
