Just curious, why is this being done anyway?  I think this is the only
software product I have used that has this "feature."  I fail to see the
usefulness from way up here above the source code, and I don't have time
to look deeper.  But still curious as to why everybody has to rename all
their function calls between major releases.

I'm on Delphi 7.0 and have never been forced to change anything because
of a new release, since Delphi 1.0.  And closer to home, From PC DOS
Oracle to 8.0i Oracle.  Seems like a lot of additional work, and would
like to understand why.
