I don't understand that remark: Leledumbo is referring to correct spot
in the official FPC documentation.

Perhaps if in Lazarus he could just press F1 when on the result
identifier[1]. If in the fpc IDE, presumably there's context sensitive
help. That would work for other similar problems, too.

If the user doesn't use an IDE then yes, I think he should go through
the documentation manually.

If you feel so strongly about the issue though, why not submit an
issue+patch?
