I have a generic include file that has

{$ifc not defined HaveTypeInfo}
{$M-}
{$definec visible public}
{$elsec}
{$ifc HaveTypeInfo}
{$M+}
{$definec visible published}
{$elsec}
{$M-}
{$definec visible public}
{$endc}
{$endc}

and now I can use "visible" as a new visibility specifier, which is more elegant and easy-to-read 
(and less typing) than polluting the code with lots of

	{$IfOpt M+} published {$Else} public {$EndIf}
