Maybe because these modes could be used to ensure that the developer is
able to switch back to TP/BP or Delphi. If these modes accepted features
which TP/BP or Delphi don't understand, switching back would become
difficult. Or you could create a source file which you want to be
compatible with FPC and with TP. If you use octal, it won't work.
