unnecessary problems, and is more likely to avoid whole rafts of bugs.
Plus, Pascal compilers can compile fsster, keeping the programmers mind on the
code, not interrupted as much by long compiles.
But C++ has some nice features.
Anyway, this is getting off topic. I'm glad we can use FB so well from Delphi.
