What exactly is "wrong" there, though? In a world where they both worked,
doing this, as we've discussed:

procedure Proc(Param: ^TSomeType);

would be no different than doing this in any sense that really mattered:

type PSomeType = ^TSomeType;
procedure Proc(Param:  PSomeType);

apart from being somewhat more convenient.
