BTW, recently there are many discussions about language features, now I
would like to ask one question, why the following is not supported in
pascal:
procedure SomeThing(AParam: array[0..10] of Integer);
or
procedure SomeThing(Aparam: string[10]);
But you have to define a custom type first?
Delphi compatibility and something else (should be documented on the
wiki,
but I forgot on which release).
I wonder if I could ask a related question. I was looking at some
parser code yesterday that I wrote years ago, and that still compiles
with TP5, TopSpeed and so on. It's got a couple of underlying
string[255] declarations: is there a 16-bit Unicode equivalent which
uses this syntax?
No, because all newer string types are not restricted in size (if you
don't consider 2GB as a restriction :) ).

Sven
