[fpc-pascal] how to define a generic subclass inheriting from another generic class?

[Anthony Walter]

The way FPC handles generics went against all other previous Pascal
conventions. You always had

A) type block

which then is always followed by

B) an identifier

and then a

C) type definition terminated with a semi colon

B and C can then be repeated in pairs until a different block is declared
(const, var, threadvar, resourcestring, function, procedure, begin or end)

So what you always had with regards to a type block is:

A
  B C;

  B C;

  B C;

Where A is he keyword 'type', B is and identifier, and C is the type
definition.

Then someone went and decided that rather than scan ahead for a < after the
identifier, they wanted another keyword in front of B, which breaks the
whole pattern.

A
  B C;

  generic B C;

  B C;
