There is no need for such a switch. No programs needs it, because if you 
need to positive value you need just one if statement.

The only possible issue can be compatibility with programs in ISO dialect. 
But FPC developers have signalled a lack of attractive code bases in ISO 
dialect, which means we will not spend our valuable time on such a mode, 
it serves little purpose. People interrested in such a mode can 
contribute patches.
