  IMOm tricks _are_ part of the languaje, so if C offers tricks Delphi does not,
then it is a Delphi problem. I see no point in comparing _the same instructions_
implementation for both languajes. They must be very similar!
  The interesting comparison (again, IMO) is using so languaje tricks as
possible in both languajes, and see how can you optimize the thing.

  But it's just a point of view. Your point can be interesting too.
