Description
A generic class declaration without a whitespace between the > and = leads to an "Expected > but received >=" error.

-> see steps
Steps to Reproduce:
- save the file at the end of the steps
- start Delphi
- open GenericsWhitespaceTest.dpr

expected: no Error Insight errors in the Structure view and the editor
actual:
Expected > but received >= at line 6 (6:9)
Expected PROCEDURE but received ( at line 6 (6:16)

- add a space between "TFoo<T>" and "=class(TObject);" and see the error goes away


program GenericsWhitespaceTest;

{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}

type
  TFoo<T>=class(TObject);

begin
end.
