The way it is done in the System unit is invalid as well :-)

Integer = Integer (16);
As above, this should mean an attempt to make a circular definition. (Of course, the System unit is full of nonstandard features anyway, so this is not a real problem.)
No. Indeed, any "unit" is non-standard by definition, since, IIUIC, neither 7185 nor 10206 understand the concept of a "unit". Therefore anyone who wants to be standards-compliant would stay well away from any source file that describes itself as a "unit".
