[my personal opinion - feel free to ignore this paragraph]

I hate such "features" pulled in from other languages, when Object
Pascal already had perfectly good solutions (Object vs Record with
Methods is another example). It really feels like it is polluting the
Object Pascal language.

I do the same. The tiOPF project follows a similar path in the core
framework and its UnitTest suite. It works well.
