Re: [Pasdoc-main] PasDoc handles now generics (both FPC and Delphi flavor) nicely

Current FPC in SVN has a little more generics usage, besides FGL unit:
- there is fcl-stl package (with various containers designed similar
to C++ STL).
- inside Classes unit there is a define FPC_TESTGENERICS that makes
some standard things use generics (TFPList, which in turn is used by
many other containers, and TFPStrObjMap, which in turn is used by
TStringList).

I hope too that generics usage will spread more widely through FPC and
Lazarus sources :) Anyway, they are already quite capable in my
experience (in my engine, I use generics a lot --- 71 descendants of
FGL.TFPGObjectList, 9 descendants of TFPGList, 56 descendants of my
own TGenericStructList, and everything works nicely :) Previously I
was using hand-made templates.
