Yup. I have also seen sample Delphi code where they used Generics. It
was on the Code of Horror website if I remember correctly. It was
ridiculously complex, unreadable, and probably a nightmare to debug. I
regard simplicity and readability very high in my code. It makes working
in a team so much easier too. That is what the Pascal language was all
about.

Yeah, what was that all about... "advanced records". They are nothing
more than the Objects introduced in Turbo Pascal days - and then
Embarcadero has the audacity to call it a "new language feature". LOL.

BTW: I still find it useful using Objects instead of Classes in some
places in my code.
