Hint modifiers are the usual "deprecated", "platform", etc. modifiers as documented here: http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/ref/refse5.html#x17-160001.5 Base helper is if you want to extend an existing helper for the same type (or in case of class helpers for the parent type). This is useful, because currently only one helper for each type is active in the current scope. It's basically inheritance for helpers. The Delphi modes however support this only for class helpers.
