Hmm, right (in fact I like this feature).
So, it is about syntax and strict.

But is there something that I can't do with mode delphi but I can using
mode objfpc?
Let me rephrase: Is there some (new cool) feature that only works in mode
objfpc?

My concern is make my code cross between FPC and Delphi, but loosing some
feature that exists only in FPC.
I would like to know if worth make my code compilable between FPC/Lazarus
and Delphi, even if my priority is FPC.
