Seemingly it is done that way.
I rather often did a kind of "Generics" in ANSI C by using Macros. It's
catastrophic for code writing and for debugging but does not impose any
performance issues.
I suppose there is a reason why in Pascal Generics are not translated in
multiple dedicatedly typed code snippets at compile time.
