How is this beneficial? The compiler should help the developer, but here
it was decided that it's beneficial for the program to crash at runtime,
because follow the broken Delphi compiler is more important! *shrug*

Such decisions really make me worry about the future of FPC. It ends up
being NO better than Delphi, so why bother using FPC then. Stick to
Delphi instead.
