This is the conclusion from Jonas' arguments, which he explicitly confirmed when
we had the discussion two+ years ago.

You're also missing another important type of 'communication': calling non-FPC
APIs or even just FPC libraries of possibly different version (see: Run-Time
Packages!)

Anything that even looks like a subrange cannot be used for these interfaces.
