No waste of time.

If you want that, use a separate unit 'InUtils' or so.

Rationale: SysUtils is broadly used.

I don't want that my current "x in y" suddenly gets changed from a compiler 
internal to something else because you decided to add some in operator to
sysutils.

It should be a conscious choice by the developer to use such constructs.
