I guess I’ll get used to it but we have lots of code like this (snippet I posted earlier from the parser):

   Declarations: TFPList; // list of TPasElement
   // Declarations contains all the following:
   Attributes, // TPasAttributes
   Classes,    // TPasClassType, TPasRecordType
   Consts,     // TPasConst
   ExportSymbols,// TPasExportSymbol
   Functions,  // TPasProcedure
   Properties, // TPasProperty
   ResStrings, // TPasResString
   Types,      // TPasType, except TPasClassType, TPasRecordType
   Variables   // TPasVariable, not descendants
     : TFPList;

where we have generic lists that we cast later to get the correct type. All these now are going to require new specializations for each class and changing the declarations. In fact this means using TFPList is not really a good idea at all anymore unless you don’t plan to use for..in loops.
