Anyway, my preferred solution would be to allow aliases in 'with' statement,
which would improve readability even further while sacrificing only a
few characters:
with a := MyCompomentList[0] do begin
Rectangle(0, 0, a.Width, a.Height);
end;
A simple solution to something which I don't think is a problem either.
[I fully agree with Michael van Canneyt here]
I agree the above is indeed an acceptable solution.
But I do think it is a corner case, because it goes against pascal philosophy
which says that all identifiers must be declared prior to being used.
The
On E : Exception do
is a Borland hack, which I'm not entirely happy with either.
They should have forced people to declare the E in the function variable block.
But since we already have this one, I could live with the above.
(albeit grudgingly - it puts the door open for many other more ugly things).
Michael.
