For those who didn't understand what I meant by using regions in the

You are forgetting that not everyone uses Lazarus. The RTL is part of Free
Pascal.
For RTL work, I never use lazarus, but a plain old text editor, joe.
It doesn't know regions, it doesn't know mainunit etc.
The RTL is organized for the benefit of its maintainers, not the users.
It's a proven design since 20 years as explained by Marco and Sven.
The fact that you're the first to complain in 20 years (at least I cannot
remember any others, and I've been around for a while) gives you an
indication of the relative importance of your problem.
Lazarus IDE shows a tooltip when you hover over an identifier with the mouse.
I suspect it will take one on the team less than 10-minutes to add the unit
name to the tooltip, in addition to the package and source file name.
Which is, after all, your original problem which is then solved ?
Michael.
