I wonder if Delphi does such a stupid thing, or rather it stores in the 
pointer the address of a pointer pair (method/data).
However here the issue is that a pointer can be assigned to a "procedure 
of object" without flagging an error:

type
   TProc = Procedure of object;
......
   NextProc: TProc;
....
     @NextProc := Coda.Remove; // Remove returns a pointer
     Sending := True;
     NextProc;

This compiles (in Delphi mode) without generating an error, and it is 
wrong, because NextProc is a Method, not a simple procedure.
