Hi, As Pascal mostly well known as a safe, easy to read, and elegant language, don't you think Pascal needs named parameter? I mean for ALL kind of parameters, not just for Variants. When you have a function with many parameters having default values, you know that named parameter is desirable. For example:
function f(p1: string = ''; p2: integer = 0; p3: boolean = false); But you only need to supply the third parameter, you still must supply the first and second ones with appropriate default values, like this: f('', 0, true); while with named parameter, you can do this: f(p3 := true); I believe it would raise Pascal's code readability. I know it has been discussed before. I know somehow the parser had been able to read such syntax. So, why don't we have the option to enable it for people who want it? Kinda a syntax switch mode. What do you think? :) -- Regards, –Mr Bee
