I would guess, without an in-depth knowledge of how Delphi's 'inherited'
keyword works, that your original assumption about it always being a
procedure call was close to the mark. Either that or it's doing something
wierd with object/reference types behind your back... which is something
I've always suspected Delphi of, to be honest.
When you insert a 'inherited.method' call though it's treating 'inherited'
as the class your subclass descends from, so it's a proper
function/procedure call depending on the method.
