A pleasure indeed ;-) I did not know Oxigene/Prism syntax has evolved fo far ahead of Delphi/FPC. While browsing their wiki, I found at least following items which are IMO worthy to add to FPC: 1) http://prismwiki.codegear.com/en/With_(keyword) but without 'matching' clause. 2) http://prismwiki.codegear.com/en/Properties#Property_Access_Modifiers Also, following, while being a mere syntactic sugar, are also 'good-to-have': 1) 'case' by string and type http://prismwiki.codegear.com/en/Case_(keyword) Although I would spell it 'case obj.ClassType of', not 'class obj type of' -- no need for new syntax here. 2) Local variables initialization during declaration -- but with constants only. 3) http://prismwiki.codegear.com/en/Exception_Handling#Combining_except_and_finally_blocks -- Alexander S.
