would be reasonable to assume that record fields could have default values

It's mainly low level code generation and integration with the RTL, so I
doubt that there is much that can be helped there.

I’m not a Lazarus user so this is probably not a good fit for me. I’ve never

They are the same as Free Pascal packages, that is a collection of units
which can be compiled separately, but with the added ability to be loaded
and unloaded after a program has started. Presumably there also exists some
dynamic package utility functions built into the system unit that also

I never heard of "dynamic packages" before so that’s not a good start. :) What
is it?

Ryan,
We all desperately want dynamic packages completed. Perhaps you might have
some interest in that?

that isn’t offensive to the compiler team.
