It seems that the Inc and Dec procedures work, but they're not documented as of yet.

My suggestion would be to add these to the documentation.

Hey,

I can look into it. There's more of these:

Present in IDE (autocompletion and parameters hint) but not documented:
  • Low, High, Dec, Inc, Include, Exclude, SizeOf, Exit

Not in IDE and also not documented:

  • Sin, Cos, Sqrt, Pi, Abs
  • PadL, PadR, PadZ
  • RaiseLastException
  • Assigned

Unlisted aliases to something else that is in IDE and documented

  • Replicate
  • StrGet, StrSet, WStrGet, WStrSet
Greetings,
Martijn

Most of those I'd consider language features rather than support functions/procedures as such.  Still, more documentation couldn't hurt, and some other things in the same boat (Copy/Chr/Pos etc) are already explicitly documented.

Agreed on both counts.
