The records-with-methods feature originates from .NET, but some cases were
made that they were also added to restrict the search for methods for
duck-type style other new delphi features like for..in, and similar future
expansion. Probably when these features are more closely regarded,
additional reasons/behaviour will pop up.

A very rough summary of the msgs and (IRC-)discussions about the newer delphi
features can be found here:
