[fpc-devel] is that intended? private type section in classes versus visibility

Marco, the Generics unit name doesn't clash, but the actual classnames
do. So if I use the Generics TFPGList and fpGUI's TfpgList in the same
unit, I will have to reference them with the unit name prefix,
correct? This is fine.

eg:
  uses
    fpg_lists, fgl {generic classes};

 ....
   // create a generic instance
   lst1 := fgl.TFPGList.Create();

  // now create a fpGUI list instance
   lst2 := fpg_list.TfpgList.Create();


Problem is that if the unit names clashed, there is now way around the
problem? Or is there?
