If possible, might be a good idea.
Afaik there are 2 scenarios.
1) The duplicate.
The user has the package installed, that now became a base package. So
units are used twice.
For this there may be a very simple solution.
- staticpackes is used by lazarus.pp
- So we could add new core-packackage-units to a different unit's use
clause. Then they don't appear twice in the same uses clause.
E.g. we could add a unit LazCorePackages, and that just contains a
uses clause. It would be used first in the uses of lazarus.pp.
It may also be able to do some trickery with IFDEF.
If core packages are in the lazarus.pp uses clause, appearing only
after staticpackages, then there could be {$IF not
defined(symbol_from_new_core_unit)}.
Haven't tested that, don't know if it would actually work.
It would not, because FPC loads the units only at the of the uses clause
and not once for every unit it finds. This is an incompatibility with
Delphi, but currently there's no real desire to change that as it only
affects such uses-clause trickery. If it *would* work however you could
simply do {$if not declared(name_of_the_unit)}, because the unit name is
also a valid symbol.
