I thought about that a little longer, maybe the Delphi language should add
support for a new "singleton" keyword like this:

type
MySingleton = singleton
strice private
FMyFirstProperty: Integer;
public
property MyFirstProperty: Integer read FMyFirstProperty write
FMyFirstProperty;
procedure MyFirstProcedure;
end;

Delphi doesn't need a singleton class type, because
it is possible to create standalone non-object oriented
procedures and functions within a unit.
Surely a singleton class just emulates a set of
standalone functions?

cheers,

Chris
