Summary	0026613: In mode delphi, assembler mode should be intel
Description	Under mode delphi and delphiunicode I expect assembler mode intel (-Rintel) to be active by default. This is not the case. It would be very helpful if it was. Minor detail, but still..
Additional Information	Both Delphi and FPC have an internal writer for intel mode, but in case of delphi it is the only one. So, mode delphi should default to intel assembler.

It's not for x86-64, which is probably because a) there was no Delphi x86-64 when FPC x86-64 started b) initially we did not have an x86-64 intel-style assembler parser, and even today it is probably not very well tested It can be changed, but the person doing so should then also intend to fix the bugs that are discovered in the x86-64 intel assembler readers, and adding support for Delphi idiosyncrasies that will be found (it doesn't make sense to make it the default in Delphi mode for compatibility reasons, if subsequently it doesn't get fixed if actual Delphi incompatibilities are found in it).
