{ Note: since the Lazarus IDE is not yet capable of correctly handling generic
  functions it is best to define a InLazIDE define inside the IDE that disables
  the generic code for CodeTools. To do this do this:

  - go to Tools -> Codetools Defines Editor
  - go to Edit -> Insert Node Below -> Define Recurse
  - enter the following values:
      Name: InLazIDE
      Description: Define InLazIDE everywhere
      Variable: InLazIDE
      Value from text: 1
}
