And I stand by that decision. Generics are a rather frickle feature and I
want to know of critical failures as early as possible (and yes, I've made
use of that already numerous times!), thus I prefer fgl to be part of the
cycling and unlike fcl-stl or these Delphi compatible ones the fgl unit is
comparatively small.
