The change in FPC mode objfpc was definitely a good thing. I had code
where a class had an Index property, and other methods of that class had
an Index parameter name. Even though it was my own code, I had to triple
check the method's implementation to find the real meaning when I used
the Index identifier somewhere in that method.

Now with the new language rule, I don't have such issues any more. Index
will be the property name, AIndex will be the parameter, lIndex will be
a local variable. Much simpler for my brain to process. :)
