Shouldn't the attribute tags just be put wherever it's easiest for the compiler to deal with them?
That would be bending the language to fit the implementation, when it should be the other way around.
I think the vast majority of people care far more about how/usefulPascal actually is in real life/than they do about whether or not it fulfills some not-well-defined notion of "spirit".
Not me. No computer language is a one-size-fits-all solution, nor should it be - though we have several languages to choose from that are trying to be.
Also, as far as I can tell, most of the people who use FPC would consider the Delphi way to be the correct or normal way of doing things in the first place.
Again, not me. Several Delphi features were rushed to meet a release deadline and were not well thought out.
