This is good info.

This is good info too. So we can keep all gathered information about
"managed things" in compiler without producing final FastRTTI (only
mentioned table of initialization operators - which is special).

I agree that implementation in details may change and is for debate.

In early July I will prepare code base for both : FPC trunk and NewPascal,
and I will continue development of FastRTTI:

- integration with NewPascal for current layout of FastRTTI, which can be
changed/adjusted at any time.

also some new directions (also partially related to FastRTTI):

- inline management operators
- inline initialization for managed fields, local managed variables
(probably this can provide a lot of additional performance on user request).

This shows that NewPascal as "bleeding edge technology" (anyway tested with
all available tests) is a good idea. :)

I will for sure adjust FastRTTI, when I will get any feedback from you (or
any other core developer). It is very good that will be possible to keep
single code base in this matter.
