Like I told them in the non-technical newsgroup... Compatibility with
what?  C#???  But the language we are talking about is Object Pascal,
NOT C#.

The pascal language generally has modifiers at the end of a declaration.
Now Object Pascal parsers and compilers must all be modified to look for
modifiers infront and after a declaration.  At is purely C# syntax, not
Object Pascal syntax!  Hasn't CodeGear learnt there lesson with .NET yet??
