 BTW, this is something I don't like very much - these are two 
distinct things and it should be possible to specify them separately, 
IMHO (although "cdecl" still might and probably should keep its 
current behaviour, of course). But the same naming convention 
(keeping the original name, i.e. without unit name etc.) is 
applicable (and needed) for other calling conventions as well, not 
only the C one.
