But FPC has accumulated so many features over the years that it
became hard for a newbie to learn the whole language, some old language
features are hardly needed anymore and many of the new languages
features are hidden behind some modeswitches.

For example I would like to disable TP objects and writeable
const and enable advanced records. Are there some command line params
to do that?
