Didn't I just write that it is indeed still missing?! (though Michael 
seems to have fixed it in the SVN sources, so this fix will (maybe?) be 
part of the 2.6.4 documentation)

You shouldn't need to look at the Delphi documentation. It's just that I 
wanted to answer your question with a source. If I the feature would 
have been available in TP and the syntax would be available I would have 
linked that. Or the ISO specification or whatever. This has nothing to 
do with "this is found in FPC's documentation so you need to look 
somewhere else", but I simply digged out a link were this feature is 
described.

And to come back to the first sentence of the paragraph: and this is 
where you come into play: by raising such questions you can help improve 
the documentation.
