It's intersting to note that as far back as Delphi 5,(oldest I have on my system), attempting to write to a typed constant causes a "left side cannot be assigned to" compiler error.
I guess as long as FPC compiler offers TP7 compatibility, this feature must be retained. Also, bear in mind that some developers might want to mix old style constructs with new ones, (TP7 object and Delphi classes), so restricting available feature to certain modes might not be the way to go.
