  1. You must use the address operator to assign procedural variables.
  2. A forward declaration must be repeated exactly the same by the implementation of a function/procedure. In particular, you can not omit the parameters when implementing the function or procedure.
  3. Overloading of functions is allowed.
  4. Nested comments are allowed.
  5. The Objpas unit is loaded right after the system unit. One of the consequences of this is that the type Integer is redened as Longint.

  8. Parameters in class methods cannot have the same names as class properties.
