And also, if you had one of the HINT modifiers then you can have a 
semicolon followed by cdecl (etc), but not another hint modifier.


program Project1;
{$Mode objfpc}
var
   xyz: procedure deprecated; cdecl; experimental = nil; // ERROR
   abc: procedure deprecated experimental; cdecl;  // OK
   foo: procedure cdecl; deprecated = nil;
   //bar: procedure cdecl; deprecated;
begin
   foo := nil; // issues: Note: foo is deprecated
end.
