While converting a KOL regular expression unit for use with freepascal, I came
across only one compile error, in {$mode delphi}

The error was here:
const
 RegExprInvertCaseFunction : 
TRegExprInvertCaseFunction=TRegExpr.InvertCaseFunction;

Error: Typed constants of the type "procedure of object" can only be initialized
with NIL

The code below seemed to fix the problem, as it compiled ok.
var
 RegExprInvertCaseFunction : TRegExprInvertCaseFunction;

Is the error that I got correct even for delphi compatability? Is it bad code,
good code?

It is bad code.

Since there is no instance of TRegExpr, the assignment would only work for
a class method, which makes little sense.
