to that style, since what it's effectively doing is passing the parameters as an explicit list.
I mentioned this form of “default constructor" as a sorely missing feature in
FPC a couple weeks ago. Making redundant constructors for records constantly is
pretty silly. If I could figure out the compiler code I would add this myself since
it’s probably one of the easier things to implement.
End of last month actually, I checked :-)
I was on the periphery of that discussion, since I thought I needed
something similar (but turned out not to). But you might have noticed
some of the APLisms that I horrify Sven with on occasion...
