AFAIK it works in the opposite direction: the developer must *exclude* 
explicitly, in *every* unit, what should *not* be subject to extended 
RTTI. That's my strongest point against (Delphi) extended RTTI, while 
RTTI by itself is okay for me.

I think that it's time to resume the work on my Delphi decompiler. I 
never published it before, but now it looks like it's time to wake up 
the XE coders, like the VB3 coders decades ago.
