After a little discussion we decided to enable the warning by default, 
so {$warn 4122 on} is not necessary. Additionally I have hooked up the 
message to the "constructing_abstract" identifier which also controlled 
the message if a class with an abstract method is instantiated. So you 
can now control both messages at once by using {$warn 
constructing_abstract error}.
