Abstract class feature is implemented the same way as it is done in 
delphi. In delphi it does not raise any error, so it works in FPC. The 
only limitation is that you can't both set sealed and abstract for the 
same class.

Maybe later delphi will come with some extra checks for abstract classes 
and then FPC will follow.
