I hate to point out the obvious, but...

in Delphi, to clarify your call you simply do the
following:
  p(integer(f));
      it will call procedure "procedure p(i:
integer);"

if you do
  p(f) 
       it will call procedure "procedure p(f : tf);"

You have the best type-checking if you don't convert
to a pointer using @.  Unless of course you've
proposed changing the normal behaviour of the @
operator so some kind of type-checking is done with
function and procedure types??

BTW, I now have Linux up and running on my system and
I can dial into the 'net too so I will be doing some
Lazarus development work soon...

Kevin.
