What about old borland objects (heap and stack initialization) process?
I am guessing they are more like records... or do heap objects act like
classes in that they are filled with zeros?
p.s. I think the inconsistent behavior between local scope records and
global scope records is kind of a flaw/danger in modern pascal.. as the
bugs may not be caught until someone builds a program with local scope
var.. and for eg. many demonstrations are built in simple global console
programs as test cases. Nowadays I always (try to) build things inside a
procedure in a test case to ensure local scope is being used. But as
humans make mistakes, again I think this part of modern pascal can be
improved and we should push to the language less dangerous by default.
