You mean you want allow duplicates? Then you should have a look at TFPGList, even if you do not like
generics. TFPGList is our approach to extend FPC carefully with generics. As it is written in objfpc
mode, you are forced not to clutter your code with specializations but you do once a TInt8List =
specialize TFPGList<Int8> etc. and continue to use TInt8List. Further, TFPGList is a
wrapper/anchestor around TFPSList, so each specialization does not explode into another full TList
like implementation: a lot of code is shared by all specializations of TFPGList.
