In my programs I use this code quite often:

A closer look at SysErrorMessage shows that the ERRORCODE will
not be used in this routine but only handed over to

Then it would make even less sense to use INTEGER in SysErrormessage.

Please note that GetLastError is Windows-specific. The cross platform function
in SysUtils is called GetLastOSError which does return Integer.
And why does a function SysErrorMessage exist that expects an INTEGER
and handes this over to FormatMessage
