I didn't know whether to laugh or cry when I read this message enquiring
about Delphi 2010 in the Delphi newsgroup today:

"My question is this: has Delphi caught up with OLE yet, allowing objects to
be embedded in a code file? For documentation purposes I would like to embed
in the surce code file objects like images, equations, and hyperlinks - very
useful to the human reader of the code, but simply ignored by the compiler."

(BTW the answer is 'No')

Needless to say I directed them to the BlackBox site ...
