Hi all to FPC Core,

I was wondering why the change to have a modeswitch for the Type/Record Helper? In Delphi there is no such switch needed. Doing something like:

--------------------------------------------------------

program TestHelper;
{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}
{$R *.res}
uses
   System.SysUtils;
type
   TStringHelper = record helper for String
     function Length: Integer;
   end;
var
   S: string;
begin
   S := 'Test String';
   Writeln(S, ', length: ', S.Length);
   ReadLn;
end.

--------------------------------------------------------

Should work out of the box (this example was taken straight from a Developer of XE3 btw).

IMHO it should be enabled at least in mode delphiunicode.
