A really "straight forward" comprehensive variant would be to forget all
the different keywords and always us class (maybe introducing a static
(create does not allocate memory) and a dynamic (heap based) variant).
But as this is not at all "pascal like" this supposedly is not a good
idea for a thingy called "free Pascal".
