[fpc-pascal] Extraneous generic parameters

[Ryan Joseph via fpc-pascal]

The TArray<T> generic type is part of the ObjPas unit, so the compiler simply picks that instead of that of your program. ;)

Sneaky but that explains the issue.

Btw since we're on the topic of arrays. Are short strings and static arrays not able to be generics? I tried that and got parser errors.

It's part of the generic type overloading inherited from Delphi. *shrugs*

That is correct. File, set or pointers are not supported either for
example.
