Hmm, strange records and pchars are often necessary for good performance. A 
professional programmer or a hobby programmer with the needed skills to do 
compiler development on the necessary level has no problems to read and work 
with such code. I did not much reading in the FPC sources up to now but 
sometimes I saw possibilities to improve performace by using a little bit 
more pchars and strange records. ;-)
