Do you mean that for an implementation of "Application.QueueAsyncCall" I 
should
  - Check if we are in the Main thread
  - if yes create a Dummy TThread
  - in the Execute procedure of the TThread do nothing but call 
TThread.Queue
  - have the TThread terminate itself and free the TThread object.

?

I agree that this is possible but for me it is a decently clumsy workaround.

OTOH, as supposedly nobody ever on purpose  calls 
Application.QueueAsyncCall from the main thread it does not do much harm 
(other than eating up some bytes of memory).

But provided this we can also just leave the implementation I did in 
it's current state and ignore the small incompatibility.
