https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/3.0.2/prog/progsu105.html you can
define other non-delphi extensions for the Delphi mode (like
NESTEDCOMMENTS).

The idea is okay as well, but I'd name it RecordHelperInheritance, cause if
we'd allow "type helper" in mode Delphi (as Maciej asks) then those would
support inheritance by default as they aren't Delphi compatible as a whole
anyway.
