Use of Supports() function with generic interface type

I just tried my first use of generics in Delphi 2009 and am perplexed on how to use a generic type as the input to the Supports function used to see if an object implements a given interface. I've created a small sample illustrating the problem.

Given the following types and utility function:

IMyInterface = interface
['{60F37191-5B95-45BC-8C14-76633826889E}']
end;

TMyObject = class(TInterfacedObject, IMyInterface)
end;

class function TFunctions.GetInterface<T>(myObject: TObject): T;
var
  specificInterface: T;
begin
  // This would compile, but looses the generic capability
  //Supports(myObject, IMyInterface, specificInterface);

  // This results in compile errors
  Supports(myObject, T, specificInterface);

  result := specificInterface;
end;

and the following code snippet:

class procedure TFunctions.Test;
var
  myObject: TMyObject;
  myInterface: IMyInterface;
begin
  myObject := TMyObject.Create;

  myInterface := GetInterface<IMyInterface>(myObject);
end;

I would expect no problems but I get the following compile time errors:

[DCC Error] GenericExample.pas(37): E2029 '(' expected but ',' found [DCC Error] GenericExample.pas(37): E2014 Statement expected, but expression of type 'T' found

I'm not sure what the compiler is expecting me to do with the T when used as the actual argument to the function.

I've searched around quite a bit and haven't been able to crack this one. A part of me suspects that if I could understand how an interface name gets converted to the IID: TGUID type during compilation, when using a concrete interface name, I could make some headway, but that has evaded me also.

Any help is much appreciated.
