I always get nervous of mode switches because it's hard to remember them or realise they exist, and it feels a little hacky, like it's a kind of compatibility setting more than anything else. Like at one point, I preferred there was an explicit way to set a type's alignment so there's no ambiguity or risk of bugs if a different setting is used or otherwise overridden. e.g.
type TVector4f = packed record x, y, z, w: Single; end align 16; Just my thought.

Mind. > Blown. No idea that existed! And some people still ask for more modeswitches...
