Some people need less compiler magic, some does not care. New directive 
can reduce the magic level :)

Btw, we use similar compiler magic every day. Just think of:

1. functions which all have special 'Result' variable :)
2. message methods which calls 'TObject.DefaultHandler' when you call 
inherited inside.
3. tobject methods related to interfaces

I suspect there are more examples.

In all the listed examples compiler searches for the special identifier. 
Therefore GetEnumerator identifier looks as very native solution for pascal.
