Right --

There's two sides to the coin. First, people may and do misunderstand
the way Delphi is doing things.

Second, I'm perfectly happy to accept that, although Delphi may be
doing things the right way, the /perception/ is that Delphi is somehow
"not normal" and that we might need to do something about that.

For instance, Delphi for .Net /is/ completely CLR compliant, but for
whatever ever reasons -- fair or unfair -- it isn't perceived that way.
Well, perhaps we need to do something to alter that perception.

Okay, here's a question. What don't you like about the way C#
implements namespaces? Surely they aren't perfect. ;-)
