Any progress on this?

We've got a couple test cases marked [Ignore] with messages indicating that generic generators are not supported yet, but there's nothing in the compiler to reject them as not supported. The compiler seems to be accepting them and attempting to create code for them, and then failing.

This is now fixed in the CCI branch. There's still one more generic generator test case that's not working. (I un-ignored them now that I'm getting support for them set up.) Once I get that fixed, I'll merge those fixes into Master and we'll have a working generic generator implementation! :)

Fixed in Master now.
