You are right:

http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/XE8/en/E2591_Only_cdecl_functions_may_use_varargs_(Delphi)

http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/XE8/en/E2277_Only_external_cdecl_functions_may_use_varargs_(Delphi)

So it seems that I can't use `varargs` loading libraries dynamically on
Delphi. :-(

function FmtStr(const fmt: PAnsiChar): PAnsiChar; varargs; cdecl; external

I need to use it in variables because I wanna load my library dynamically.

Note: varargs comes before cdecl, though I am not sure if it matters.

It seems irrelevant, but I saw it in some Delphi units declaring it as `...
cdecl; varargs; ...`.
