+ This is done deliberately. We feel that having the same name in a
+ parameter of a method and a property name is very bad coding and
+ should not be allowed. This is, of course, debatable since you could
+ e.g. argue that the procedure starts a new scope, and that within
+ this scope you can redefine any symbol etc etc etc...

Thats one of the pascal language features. I think it is not up to the
compiler to decide what is a bad coding practice. What do think of:

procedure X;
var
  I: integer;
  procedure X;
  var
    I: integer;
    procedure X;
    var
      I: integer;
    begin
      //  ... do something ...
    end;
  begin
    //  ... do something ...
    X;
  end;
begin
  //  ... do something ...
  X;
end;

+ Probably we'll make some compatibility switch, but don't count
+ on it for the near future.

Hmmm....
