How do they (whoever they might be) justify this? All of them are
simple/standard types. Plus the following code doesn't compile:


procedure MyProc;
var
  integer: Integer;
begin

end

fails to compile with the following message. Mode objfpc is used.
frm_main.pas(547,19) Error: Error in type definition
