Well, newbies are not to strong in knowing what is which unit either :-)
If we're talking newbies and IDE:
They don't need to, if the IDE puts the unit in the uses clause to start with...
That's completely new functionality. Afaik most unit adding of IDEs is
hardcoded?.
I know. The codetools need to recognize type helpers in the first
place.
Then we can start thinking about changing the default unit uses clause.
For instance in the package lazarusforeducation or so.
Anyway, I just wanted to point out which advantages I see (or do not see) in
type helpers.
Thanks for pointing out the advantages. I can see the point, but can't
help to think that I'll be reading code like this soon:
s := '(' + x.ToString + ', ' + y.ToString + ')';
Instead of
s := Format('(%d, %d)', [x, y]);
I suppose there are quite some people (especially newbies ^^) who write
it like this:
s := '(' + IntToStr(x) + ', ' + IntToStr(y) + ')';
And here I would prefer the "ToString" variant (but my personal favorit
is the "Format" one :) )
Regards,
Sven
