And just to confirm, if anyone knows....

Those are indeed PPTypeInfo ? (even in 3.0?)

Since a lot of other TypeInfos are:
{$ifdef ver3_0}
{$define TypeInfoPtr := PTypeInfo}
{$else}
{$define TypeInfoPtr := PPTypeInfo}
{$endif}

Rtti.pas in 3.0.0 seems to tread them as PPTypeInfo. So that would 
indicate they indeed are PPTypeInfo.
