Hi Jonas,

There you said: "If you don't like that (by design), use the TP or
Delphi dialects as mentioned before."
If this "problem" not occurs using delphi dialects, do not you think
it's better all dialects work as Delphi works? Only in this case, of
course.

IMHO this is an inconsistency in the language. Sometimes use "()" sometimes not?

Best regards,
