Well actually, numbers.
{$define 2}
{$IFDEF 2} .... {$ENDIF}
Seriously ?
The inventive ways by which people try to shoot themselves in the foot

They do it with lots of enthusiasm, it seems :-)
Ok, so the docs says defines a "name" or "symbol", it does not refer to
"identifier". Which means I guess numbers are in that scope.
And I just realised, the above can be used with macros.
{$macro on}
{$define 0=1}
begin
write(random(123) / 0);
should work ... ;)
