I just read this on Delphi Code Monkey

One feature that I probably will hack into the GExperts open dialog is the ability to open a form by its Caption instead of by its unit name. Many units in the code I work in may have started out in TurboPascal for DOS with its cryptic 8 character limits on filenames. If you can't remember that ECL.pas is the Accounts Receivable main form, because some guy decided to call it ECL, for no reason you can figure out, you'd probably like such a feature too.

To my knowledge he never did "hack it into GExperts", but I think that might be a nice feature.
