I've now added an overload which is implemented for the Windows systems and
returns Nil on other targets.
For Delphi compatibility we should maybe also add a PAnsiChar overload for
GetProcAddress so that existing code could safely use
"PAnsiChar(1)".
Definitely not. I don't think we should encourage this.
The dynlibs unit was intended and conceived as a clean,
cross-platform implementation of dynamic library loading.
It already contains several dubious constructs "for delphi compatibility",
I don't think we should add another one. I will not remove your addition,
but adding more is really out of the question.
Delphi compatibility in this case is utter nonsense,
since Delphi doesn't have a dynlibs unit to begin with.
There are limits to the amount of prostitution I am willing to tolerate.
