No need for something like new default section. You can just use :
===code begin===
{$MACRO ON}
{$DEFINE TMyRecord_Default := (i: 1; s: 'foo')}
type
TMyRecord = record
i: integer;
s: string;
end;
var
myRec: TMyRecord = TMyRecord_Default;
===code end===
you can also try new management operator "Initialize":
