It also proves that such solution external to the language is possible.

That is always the reason, but every feature must be implemented tested, supported, and may clash with future extensions. "it wouldn't hurt", and a bit of typing, and some fairly theoretic case about readability are IMHO quite weak arguments. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
