Names are optional while ordinals are not. If you look for example at
urlmon.dll or shlwapi.dll then you'll see quite some functions that are
exported by ordinal only (FPC can't do that as it always adds at least a ''
name). Also MSDN nowhere mentions that the NONAME attribute for Def files
is deprecated.
(also import by ordinal is slightly faster)
