>We have developed an advanced RTTI API that replaces the Embarcadero RTTI API and provides much more powerful and easy to use when accessing the RTTI.
>We developed it as we ware running into huge number of issues and bugs when trying to use the Embarcadero implementation, and we needed stable, robust and very easy to use implementation, since we have started to rely very heavily on the new RTTI in our development. It also offers additional functionalities not currently available in the Embarcadero extended RTTI, as well as we are doing some work around for critical bugs in the Delphi RTTI unit.

Hi Boian, did you have to modify/patch the compiler, or it is implemented as a set of classes?.
