Can you give an example of this syntax? I get errors like Interface "ICircle" cannot be
delegated by "TMyShape", it already has method resolutions.
FPC currently does not yet support class types not to mention records
and objects which is what I had mentioned earlier already.
It's a strange syntax compared to anything else we allow in classes and the boiler plate
is really adding up now. "procedure Draw" is going to be in 4 lines now!
It would be nicer if they made this into one line so we don't have yet another
set of duplicate method signatures, i.e.:
procedure Draw as ICircle.Draw;
I can't shake the feeling that all you complain about is writing even a
little bit too much. Pascal is *not* about using as less code as
possible, but to be as correct as possible and the syntax of interface
delegation allows exactly that.

Sven
