* don't automatically set the parent class of objcclasses without a

    designated parent to NSObject, because you can have multiple root classes
    (e.g., NSProxy is also an Objective-C root class in Cocoa). Instead,
    give a hint when an Objective-C class is declared without any parent
    (because it can very well be a mistake, given that Pascal classes all
    do automatically inherit form TObject).
