Two questions about portability of properties of arrays:

Is it safe to assume -- for all platforms, including possible future

ones -- that SizeOf(a) = ((Ord(y)-Ord(x)+1) * SizeOf(t)?
No.
...

Is it safe to assume that

Integer(@a[p])-Integer(@a[q]) = (p-q) * SizeOf(t)?
No.

(Is it generally allowed to cast a pointer into an integer,

No.
