Exactly.

IIRC something is (was?) wrong (AV) for Mac i386 and Win64 when is used
PRecInitTable instead of (indirect) PPRecInitTable... It is strange because
for example for Win32 and Aarch64 PRecInitTable works fine... Have you an
idea?

Phew! So... Please merge PART 2 of MO :P after this step I can start work
on RTTI.pas and on extended info for records (with small "baby steps" ofc).
