	: @Chain-Q (i think). Amiga and AROS now uses array of PtrUInt. Is there any objection to change this for MorphOS as well ? I am aware this most probably does not matter for MorphOS, and in case it doesn't then why not make things consistent ? E.g. from previous discussion it was not clear if MorphOS was included for this change. I'm willing (or i can perhaps ask ALB for help) to make the changes in case you don't have time yourself.		: @Chain-Q (i think). Amiga and AROS now uses array of PtrUInt.

 : See my remark about Object Pascal mode in the varargs question. The reason systemvartags exists is to avoid forcing most of the headers to ObjFPC mode, and thus inflating the executable size with ObjPas unit. So simply moving "array of const" functions is a no-go. We can use an array of longword though, if I remember correctly.

 : There is an additional important point: at least "array of const" arguments require Object Pascal (or Delphi) mode. Which means ObjPas unit will be automagically linked to the executable. This inflates executable size, and no way around it, which is a big no-no, especially on classic, but we shouldn't depend on it elsewhere either. Our headers should not depend on Object Pascal mode I think. (This is BTW also the reason why systemvartags exists on Amiga - to avoid forcing the headers into OBJFPC mode.)
