Thanks, but that is not want I need.
I don't want array, but a two level map where keys are not necessarily 
integers.

I mean the code below works ok, so I don't undestand why it doesn't 
compile when I use similar construct inside a function.
const ranges: array [1..2] of TMyRec =
      (
          (Start:    0;    Stop:    3),
          (Start:    4;    Stop:    7)
        );
