In that case even the Writeln() call is a wrapper function (for a low
level system call). So as you can see, your quest not to use wrappers is
getting a bit ridiculous. Object Pascal is a high level language to make
programming easier and faster. There is nothing wrong with that.

If you want no wrappers and low level, then program everything in
Assembly. Good luck with that! ;-)

ps:
  I don't consider a unit that implements a Object Pascal interface to
  a C/C++ DLL or SO library a wrapper. How else are you supposed to
  use that shared library (written in another language)? Reimplementing
  everything from scratch is not a good use of my time.

  Graeme
