[fpc-pascal] Overloaded functions

[Darius Blaszyk]

Thanks! This is in line with what I was suspecting. However, why in the
world does the compiler not warn in this case. This should be at least
happening I would suppose?

The mode is objfpc and I turned ansistrings off. I tested by adding the overload modifier but without result. What else could I try or do? Or is overloading only allowed for different parameter lists?
