EProgrammerNotFound exception in Delphi?

Question

In Delphi 2009, SysUtils.pas contains this in line 425:

EProgrammerNotFound = class(Exception);

• Is this simply an easter egg or somet

Answer 1

I am a programmer, am I an exception than ?

Marco Cantù also describes this in his book 'Delphi 2009 handbook' - page 242. He tells it's never jused in the VCL source code.

Answer 2

With programmer, it is not the programmer that is sitting behind Delphi that is referenced. I think it is used for the fact that in D2009 and above they planned (never used it don't know if it works) that every object was waitable.
