[fpc-pascal] Default value for an open array

[Mark Morgan Lloyd]

It's previously been pointed out to me that a declaration such as

     procedure OutputWriteF(const str: widestring; values: array of 
const; fg: TColor= clBlack; bg: TColor= clDefault);

can't be rewritten

type owfArray: array of const;
     procedure OutputWriteF(const str: widestring; values: owfArray; fg: 
TColor= clBlack; bg: TColor= clDefault);

since this would make the parameter into a dynamic rather than an open 
array. I'm entirely happy to accept that now that I understand it.

However, given a declaration of that form, is it possible to define a 
default parameter of [] so that  OutputWriteF('Test, no params\n')  is 
valid?
