It kind of muddles nested classes (as namespaces) that FPC supports. Is this on someones list of todos? Interesting stuff, it's like nested records, but wouldn't this look nicer if the "type" keyword was optional, maybe only required where there is not keyword like class or record ? This looks like a nice feature but it shouldn't make code less readable by requiring keywords that only make the source more ugly.
In Pascal all type declarations appear in blocks that are named "type". This is the case in global unit scope, in local method scope and in class scope as well. So I don't think one should brake with the way Pascal works just to create code that looks more beautiful.
And this is also Delphi compatible. Regards, Sven -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
