Yes. That's why I brought this up. The last message from Blaise Thorn is 
almost one year old:

What a pity it takes so long to finally merge it to trunk. It's actually 
2+ years when it is "almost ready to merge". I actually don't understand 
why - I find anonymous methods much more useful than generics.

Maybe it would be worth to merge it even if there are some (minor) bugs. 
Generics wasn't perfect from the very beginning either.

Just curious: is TMS actively developing pas2js as well or do they only 
develop the visual framework they sell? Anyway it looks like a perfect 
cooperation between commercial and open-source entities. Thumbs up.
