[fpc-devel] Parameters must match exactly?

Yes, but I can't use OUT because the type of AForm doesn't match exactly -
back to my initial problem when I started with FPC 2.5.1.
  TfpgWindowBase vs TBulkInvoiceRateListForm type.

This compiler change will play havoc on the Simple Factory Method design
pattern as well - a base class is used as the parameter type, but
descendants are created and passed back. This is a very common case and
used a lot.
