If you need this tree at run-time:

- The "extended RTTI" branch of fpc allows you to list all methods,
   regardless of their visibility

- In the released compiler, if you remove all visibility specifiers, you can
   get a list by specifying {$M+} on your base object and then list all
   published methods using the RTTI.

If you simply need this tree:

- You can simply use fcl-passrc to analyse your source tree and create the complete
   list. No changes to code needed. I have several programs that do this.
