<div>There is not one rule. It always depends on the context. E.g. here the code needs to stay compatible with Delphi does assign a FPC only feature won't help. On the other hand the {$J-} change would.not be backwards compatible as older Delphi versions had it enabled as well. In essence it's always decided on a case by case base what is more important.</div>
