you said just sucking it up and type casting is not so bad. :) Sure enough
but it would even better if the compiler was more friendly here. If there
was a good pre parser in FPC I’d just make some custom syntax  but that’s
not an option either as far as I know.

Again, you're fighting against design principles of the language. It's just
as if you'd want to have virtual class methods in C++...
