That is clear. What isn't clear is why this is needed in a way that 
forces changes (and incompatibilities) on users apps to solve IDE problems.

IOW in which cases is disambiguation in the class registration of the 
generated app needed?


Sure, the IDE is also a FPC/Lazarus app, but it has more leeway for 
solutions that doesn't require changes to the way EVERY APP streams its 
forms.

This is a nonsense argument to make discussion go away. Enough such 
flags that an user only finds out when he is actually having problems is 
enough to turn them away from Lazarus permanently.
