Hi-jacking, the thread, and again should FPC chase Delphi forever?
Their technical decisions are directed mostly by "marketing" needs.
Should Open Source mimic that?
Now, FPC has provided support for ObjC interface, and Delphi is using
that, so maybe it will (and should) be otherwise - Delphi is to
provide syntax support for FPC?

P.S. a lot of syntax sugar might cause diabetes.
