[fpc-devel] "automated" section

According to a comment in the Lazarus Highlighter code, there either is 
or used to be a class section "automated" (just like public, private, ...)

I can't find many refs in the fpc source. The most helpful (if calling 
it that) is from  packages\fcl-passrc\tests\tcresolver.pas
This shows at least, that it is used as class section, and that the 
section can then have a field.

But the compiler does not seem to like it. Any attempt to put it into 
any code (tried various $mode) leads to errors only.

So the question is: Does it still exist?
Or is it time to remove it from the HL?
