Just my two cents:

For-in loops is standard part of Delphi-2006 pascal language. (Not only 
for .NET, it is for Win32 too!)

I think, if Freepascal wish to stay Delphi compatible, then is good idea 
to implement this features too. Look to next Pascal language enhancements 
in Delphi-2006... (like operator overloads or class variables...)
