This is news to me and I've also been coding in Delphi for about 10 years.
I don't think it's a good idea to use it as it confuses class completion
(not to mention me), and doesn't work with overloaded methods
(unsurprisingly) - there are probably other problems, but they will
probably take more than 3 minutes to discover ;-)

It’s always been that way, ie. The defn in the interface rules.
I think by convention, people duplicate the parameters on the impl.

I have been using Delphi for nearly 10 years and today I discovered
something new, and very strange.
You can omit the parameters in the implementation of a method.
interface
type
TTest = class
public
procedure Test(AParameter: String);
end;
implementation
procedure TTest.Test;
begin
// This works, but it has the parameter "AParameter: Integer".
ShowMessage(AParameter);
end;
Any thoughts on why?
To me this could make the code difficult to understand.
I checked and it doesn’t work if you include empty brackets like
"procedure TTest.Test();".
