If delphi has a unit called "generics.collections" and then we introduce 
a unit with the same name, it should have the same interface and 
functionality (except where not possible due to cross-platform concerns 
etc).

Extensions are possible, but they should be put in separate units so 
that if Delphi extends its unit later in a different way, you can't get 
conflicts.
