Error: Abstract Map has no @:to function that accepts IMap<Test.T, Test2<Test.T>>

[Miguel Pro Verianto]

Hi, can someone help me with some explanation on why the compiler is throwing the following error for the following code?

Here's the code
http://pastebin.com/dEDxsU27

Error: Abstract Map has no @:to function that accepts IMap<Test.T, Test2<Test.T>>
Error: String should be Test.T

Also, what's the correct terminology to refer to that concept in Haxe actually? Template? Generics? Type Parameter?
I'm having difficulty figuring out what keyword I should use to search for the problem, because searching for Template seems to points me towards the haxe.Template module instead.

Thanks in advance.

BTW, just ignore the second error, just assume line 23 is written

map[key].val = val;

instead of

map[key].val = key + " " + val;

You cannot do that. You will have to use IMap if the key type is
unknown. I've tried to explain the reasons here:

Hi, thx for the response, asked around on the Haxe IRC channel for some answers,
I've tried adding @:generic to the classes, but it doesn't work, the compiler still throw out the same error.

However, marking the class as @:generic @:remove seems to work, so I guess its solved for now.
