[fpc-pascal] Question on TFPGMap

[ppadilcdx at gmail.com]

Sorry copy and paste error. d = decode. Corrected below.  But I think I 
see what you mean.  Just assigning a type to decode doesn't initialize 
it. But the compiler is happy with it, i.e. it doesn't call as illegal 
the statement "decode.create".
