This argument is pulled out each time someone suggest things that the 
main developers don't like. But despite from the work this requires it 
would result in my own island solution. It cannot be the goal that 
thousands of people spawn their own Pascal dialect. I don't think that 
anybody is wanting this. I thought this open source project is about 
having a *public* Pascal language which can be discussed and argued 
about. I know that there will be no common sense about each and every 
topic but it should be possible to say opinions which possibly make 
others change their mind (or not).
