yes indeed. It’s just interesting because “stackalloc” basically swaps the
memory backend and there’s a precedent for such a thing happening and in a
very popular language. The hacker in me wants to play around with that idea in
FPC to see what emerges.
If management operators stick around there’s lots of potential to make advanced
records a strong alternative. Best feature added to FPC is a while IMO so
hopefully they survive the drama. :)
