Andreas uses a preprocessor to convert the language extensions into Delphi

could implement the features directly.
I think it's good to do things like this as a preprocessor(when
possible) initially. It means ideas can be
tried out more easily and given a test run before attacking the compiler.
I guess it could be done in the compiler if someone made a plugin
mechanism for fpc.
I ain't volunteering for _that_ job :-)
