Re: I really hate .NET especially inside Delphi

I'm not proposing anything.

Remember, removing that
functionality is not an option.

What about breaking compatibility? What about changing Delphi's .NET
strategy completely?

We can go there if you want. I particularly don't since I think I've
expressed some of my ideas already. DevCo is going to do what you guys
think is best, I have a feeling that I disagree..but that's cool. We'll
see what happens.

This implementation was certainly not
done without a lot of thought and consideration.

Understood; IMO, it's an elegant-ish hack...but I wouldn't call it
*better* than how other .NET languages do it.

There is so many
things that folks either take for granted or are blithly unaware are
happening behind the scenes that changing the subtle sematics of them
would really hurt the language and the productivity.

With all due respect and despite the bluntness of what I'm about to say,
it's not meant to be rude...but IMO that's your job.
