Who said that? We discussed the syntax etc. and at least I see good changes to 
integrate it in trunk
as soon as it is ready. Neither Sven nor me would discuss a feature if we are 
in doubt that it will
make it in trunk.

It is more a matter of doing it properly. It is more an opposition against 
quickly hacked together
stuff without proper testing etc. I am pretty sure that we get ARC soon or 
later in trunk, if
somebody shows enough dedication :)

After all, FPC tries to support as much as possible pascal dialects in OSS 
compiler. But this does
not mean, we are supporting everybody's pet dialect ;)
