[fpc-pascal]Defining Records on the fly:

[Jon D. Sawyer]

Here is why I was wondering why you couldn't, say I have this type:
Type tMyRec = Record X, Y : Real; End;

And I have this function:

Function CheckPoint(aPoint: tMyRec): Boolean;
Begin
  {Does something here..}
end;

begin
  CheckPoint((X:1.2;Y:2.2));
end.

In short I think it would be a nifty feature.. but hey.. I was just
wondering.
