Ah, now I see what you mean:

TCloseQueryEvent = procedure(Sender : TObject; var CanClose : boolean) of 
object;

And you have

procedure TListForm.FormCloseQuery(Sender: TObject; CanClose: Boolean);

Yes, the IDE adds the var when the event is created. I don't know when
this was implemented - a long time ago.
There is currently no tool to fix the signatures.
The LFM / TReader does not check either.

You can create feature requests if you like.
