It comes in handy sometimes - but I don't believe that all Pascal compilers do it. One might miss having the feature in some situations, but I don't think it will be a disaster to dump it. It is also a good thing to have the option of stopping after the first error is encountered.
This would be a backend change. Peter suggested this to the GCC list some time ago, and it was rejected. (Or rather, he suggested something else, and someone turned turned his suggestion into this, and others flamed him for suggesting what he didn't and for a dozen of other things ...)-:
Implementing such an option would be trivial, but I guess as long as anyone still believes in GCC integration, you better try to convince the GCC people before we do it on our own. (Good luck!)-:
