Going by what Martin just said, should this throw a warning, at least if
not in Delphi mode? Or an error? This "feature" being used is more
likely due to a programming bug and I feel that the developer's
attention should be drawn to it so it can be replaced with TFoo.Create
if that's what they meant, or a metaclass variable.

What I mean is that if you want to instantiate an object of class
TFoo, you'd call TFoo.Create, not TFooClass.Create.
I also don't see the real value of that "feature", but iirc it was
added since Delphi allows it.
