looks like a good idea if you want to implement it.
Provided it is limited to the compiler itself - which is what I want -,
I think I may be able create a patch.
If there is more demand for it.
Then there are the three options on how to implement:
Should it generate a hint, a warning or a syntax error in case of a
violation?
I suggest a 'warning: % is not supported by Delphi'. That way code
generation continues, which seems correct, because the generated binary
will still work.
