DoDi suggested fixing code imported from Delphi in the converter, but
yeah, of course there _can_ be external LCL-native or shared code that uses the
method. But
is it really any possibility that this is heavily used by somebody? Is
it really better than add another virtual method (i.e. increase the
VMT)?
