I'm slowly but surely loosing all hope for Object Pascal. The language
is becoming more and more mangled with every new release of
Delphi and FPC.

Was a typed const ever read only?

Writeable consts date from the Turbo Pascal days.

In Delphi (and FPC) there is a compiler directive that controls this.

{$WRITEABLECONST ON|OFF}
{$J+/-}

Best is of course to use {$J-}
