[fpc-pascal] "Address of" question

[Hairy Pixels]

I just noticed it's possible to do @Byte in FPC. Are these 2 lines even different? It doesn't exactly make sense to take the address of a type identifier so I'm curious what this may mean.

var
  b: Byte;
  p: PByte;
begin
  p := @Byte(b);
  p := PByte(@b);
