Weird, I wouldn't expect OBJFPC mode to allow automatic conversion
from AnsiString to Pointer...

Just found a bug of mine I was wondering about since about three days,

{$MODE OBJFPC}
program
Exception_Fun;
uses
SysUtils;
function Exception_Message : AnsiString;
begin
exit ('Will never show up, of course.');
end {Exception_Message};
type

except

WriteLn (StdErr, 'Caught it! Strange.');
end {try};

No error, no warning, no note, no hint: Of course, a class type is just
a pointer, AnsiStrings can be pointers. Pointers can be converted to
any other pointer type... *crash*
