Great news! Thank you to the FPC team for all magnificent work.
I maintain Docker images with FPC (with various versions and
cross-compilers, with Castle Game Engine and some related tools), see

That's a funny interaction between Variants and Pascal's ambiguous
(logical or bitwise) "and" :) Both the operators and the types are
ambiguous -> making the boolean short-circuit evaluation not possible.
Indeed one workaround is to cast the variants to Booleans explicitly,
which makes it use logi

I'm also curious :)
I just tested, and the -Co (lowercase "o") enables overflow checking
by default (like "{$Q+}" in code),

But -CO (uppercase "O") seems unrelated to it.
