Benefits of this directive:<br>
1) Access to build date/time in native TDateTime format. Existing {$I
%DATE%} and {$I %TIME%} are inserted as strings in predefined format,
parsing is required to extract date/time components or to reformat it.<br>
2) Atomic access to build date/time. Use of {$I %DATE%} and {$I %TIME%}
can have undesired effect if {$I %DATE%} is executed at 2016-01-15
23:59:59.999 and 1 ms later {$I %TIME%} is executed at 2016-01-16
00:00:00.000. Resulting combination of two directive is 2016-01-15
00:00:00, a day out of date.<br>
3) Search and replace of build date/time is no longer a trivial text editor operation.<br></blockquote><br><br> <br></div></div></div></div>
