Hi everyone,

I've just recently submitted a patch with some code that makes one of the compiler errors clearer for the user, and minimises a 'cascade' where more errors appear due to the presence of the first one.  Translations aside, what's the general policy with these "ease of use" patches that don't really fix any bugs but simply intend to make Lazarus and Free Pascal easier to use for third-party developers?

Yes, they are fine, they are accepted like any other reasonable feature patch.
