Makes sense. :) > Well, it's Borland who is to blame for this, specifically. FPC has the behaviour because it needs to for the sake of compatibility. Certainly though, I've always wished that only initialized *variables*, using "var Something: Type = " as opposed to "const Something: Type = " existed, and that all consts were specifically untyped like "const Something = ". Sadly that is not and will never be the case, unfortunately.
