The Low and High functions allow an incorrect expression without errors

Description:

For Low and High functions, you can specify expressions inside parentheses where types and constants are intermixed.

Steps to reproduce:

program Project1;
var
  i: PtrInt;
begin
  i := High(Byte div 1); // Equal High(i) 
end;

Additional information:

For Low the same.

This can be Char + 'some', with {$LONGSTRINGS OFF}.

In Delphi, this causes a compilation error about the inadmissibility of using a type in an expression.
