It's a dilemma. Though scientifically Delphi's mechanism is wrong but we 
can't just 'fix' it, especially if there are lot of codes that depend on 
it, or if Borland/CodeGear let the bug exists on purpose (backward 
compatibility?). The fix will break the Delphi 'compatibility'.

I suggest FPC to keep the Delphi compatibility to be as much as 
possible, or even 100% if possible. BUT, keep those compatibilities on 
Delphi mode only. That's what Delphi mode is all about, right? FPC could 
use the better/correct mechanism on and only on FPC mode.

This should make everybody happy. User wants to use the 'wrong' Delphi 
mechanism? Fine, but please use Delphi mode. User wants to use the 
correct mechanism? Please use FPC mode.
