You miss the point: Delphi compatibility mode is for people who

Delphi.
That is exactly what happened. I only develop under FPC, but
contribute a lot to the tiOPF project, which is mostly used by Delphi
developers. I broke the Delphi builds by adding the $IF..$ENDIF
code. The tiOPF project uses the Delphi Mode for the FPC compiler,
and I was surprised when notified of the problem.
Well, the delphi mode is made to compile delphi programs with fpc not to check
your programs for delphi compliance ;)
But maybe Graeme should make a Delphi feature request too (and see
which is
honoured first) :-)
Where do I go, to ask for such a feature in Borland Delphi? I guess
it would take years to materialize. :-) Borland is not as pro-active
as the FPC maintainers!!

Graeme.
