I basically agree. Though for now anonymous functions should be either 
bound to mode Delphi or at least a modeswitch (enabled by default in 
mode Delphi and disabled everywhere else). [or maybe we should add such 
newer extensions to mode DelphiUnicode?] The type "reference to ..." 
should be available in either mode though (independantly of anonymous 
functions).
