Description

When the Boo compiler generates classes for anonymous callable types, it has to make them generic if the target is generic, and provide correct instantiation on usage. As long as this is not implemented, anonymous callables cannot be used in conjunction with generic types or methods.

Failing example:

public class GenericType of T:
  public Delegate as callable(T) 
  // Need to create CompilerGenerated.callable__0[of T]

Changed title and description to refer to anonymous callable types only, since the generators issue is represented in BOO-845.
