I just just reading a article from a few years ago, explaining the pros and 
cons of inline variables. It actually made a really good case for that. There 
is a open MR for inline variables already - just not review/merged.

https://blogs.embarcadero.com/introducing-inline-variables-in-the-delphi-language/

I was looking through the RTL and noticed FPC's 'main' branch has 
TCustomAttribute implemented since a few years, but still the [weak], [unsafe] 
and [volitile] are not implemented yet. :-)

Any word on multi-line text blocks? ;-)  Coming from Java, I so MISS that in 
Object Pascal! :-D

Regards,
  Graeme
