Yes. Turn Extended Syntax off {$X-}, then a function result must be

so "inherited Create" did not compile anymore (and I remember that any
attempt to assign this "result" to a dummy variable even failed). So, at
that time I turned the extended syntax stuff back on.
So, if I don't use any classes, turning Extended Syntax Off would be OK?
I guess so. Haven't tried it in years, though.
What's activated by this Extended Syntax anyway? Any document/article about
it?

With Turbo/Borland Pascal there were some other subtle differences (like
- I think - treating an array of char as string/PChar), but the main
effect was the throwing away of function results.
