restricted?

Isn't there a IsLibrary variable in System? For sure there is a IsPackage
variable which will be true if the unit is part of a package (though I
still need to find out how to implement this).
You don't need a flag for initialization/finalization blocks, because if
your code resides in one then you are obviously run inside one...
