Agreed. It's not readable at all. So don't do that, instead
{$IFDEF BIG}
type My_Type = SmallInt;
{$ELSE}
type My_Type = ShortInt;
{$ENDIF}
and then
|Inc (My_Type(v), Delta);
should do the trick.
OTOH, to be honest: I don't see the point in using Inc/Dec here at all,
especially if "v := v + Delta;" would work perfect already. I even
think the "standard" way of doing the addition would be much more
readable in that context.
