Should GPC support the "()" additions to functions/procedure calls? I think that for Delphi compatibility reasons alone it might be worth supporting (with all the usual warnings).
If Delphi(tm) is a conglomerate from C++, C, Pascal and much more, it seems, it is a kind of new language with its own syntax. The fact, that they support Pascal units as you pointed out is an interesting feature of this language, but nothing more. IMO, we should not support 'unpascalish' things in the GNU Pascal Compiler and concentrate on a superset of all _Pascal_dialects_. If someone would write a C-Compiler and call this 'Yet Another Pascal Compiler', the things would look much clearer.
