PascalUtils is an object library for delphi and FreePascal of data structures that implements syntactic sugar similar to that of other modern languages as far as syntax allows.
Library is tested for
- Embarcadero (R) Delphi 10.3 on Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (Version 6.1, Build 7601, 64-bit Edition)
- Embarcadero (R) Delphi 11.0 Version 28.0.42600.6491 on Windows 10 (Version 10.0, Build 19042, 64-bit Edition)
- FreePascal Compiler (3.2.0) and Lazarus IDE (2.0.10) on Ubuntu Linux 5.8.0-33-generic x86_64

Functor is instance of a class with member function Call defined. This member function allows the object to be used with the same syntax as a regular function call, and therefore its type can be used as template parameter when a generic function type is expected.
