I think an interjection at this point is required - all of this is
down to personal experience, preference and style. It is what you are
used to. Having done 10+ years of Pascal, yes this is very alien.
Having done 5+ years of C# and C based languages, no this is useful.
Should it be part of Free Pascal? That is for the compiler maintainers
to decide. However, don't write it off because you find it
undesirable. One languages feature is another's bad syntax decision.
I can't count the number of times I've tried to explain the point of
Sets to non Pascal programmers (read: C based language users.) I also
don't want to remember the countless bad implementations of Sets I saw
whilst trying not to have to reinvent the wheel.
