my patch was created only on Michael request. ;) thanks for clarification,
that makes sense, it works as expected (my second email as a proof). As far
as i understand is possible to divide record RTTI data on INIT table and
RTTI table.

INIT table:
-record size
-managed fields
-management operators (done in my branch, not committed yet)

RTTI table (eventually TODO):
-attributes
-other operators
-other info about properties and methods etc.

RTTI table in most of cases includes also most of INIT table data (probably
full copy).
