Indices in Pascal are always signed.


Yes, but I could store indices in DWORD if they would be 1-based
and would not risk an exception if the index is "not valid" (which
would be 0 in this case while it's -1 for 0-based indices).
I would not be forced to make sure it is an signed integer where I store it.
