Well, there are many things in Delphi against all Pascal stands for. Yet =

we need it for compatibility, and despite our, IMHO totally =

reasonable, clean-up attempts $mode delphi might even be used more =

than $mode objfpc :(

I think history has shown that it is not wise to reject things. IMO, the =

features can be provided in a Chrome mode, while fpc and objfpc remain =

clean Pascal. Even that has its limits, code exchange must remain =

possible between fpc and non-fpc modes, but despite all the crap, we can =

at least try to keep them clean.
