How can I pass a generic type parameter to an Angular2 component?

Question

Let's say I got a component with a fixed input parameter type,

@Component({     selector: 'fixed',     template: '<div>{{value}}</div>' }) export class FixedComponent {     @Input() value: string; } 

How do I go about making that parameter type generic, i.e.

@Component({     selector: 'generic',     template: '<div>{{value}}</div>' }) export class GenericComponent<T> {     @Input() value: T; } 

That is, how do I pass the type in the template of the parent component?

<generic ...></generic>

It seems that when using AOT compilation the only way to do this is to replace the generic type with 'any'. See https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/11057
