[fpc-pascal] Writeable typed constants - what's the point?

[fpclist at silvermono.co.za]

It's intersting to note that as far back as Delphi 5,(oldest I have on my 
system), attempting to write to a typed constant causes a "left side cannot 
be assigned to" compiler error.

I guess as long as FPC compiler offers TP7 compatibility, this feature must be 
retained. Also, bear in mind that some developers might want to mix old style 
constructs with new ones, (TP7 object and Delphi classes), so restricting 
available feature to certain modes might not be the way to go.
