That they will not invent new functionality is clear. 
But absolutely nothing is said about pascal _syntax_ for generics.

How this is translated to the underlying CLI is something else, but
that need not concern us.

No-one is questioning the possibilities of generics. 
We're questioning the syntax to be used.
