Correct.

And AFAIK the object inspector already does not provide methods with
incompatible declarations (though I don't know whether "var", "const" and
"constref" are considered different). So in a current Lazarus you might not
be able to achieve a situation like this, but it will not warn/fail if an
older form contains such an event handler.

(My assumption is not completely verified, so handle wit care)
