In our previous episode, Maciej Izak said:
full potential of class/record/type helpers is not used :), and by bad

(which can solve all problems) is usage "with" for example:
var
x: TObjectA with THelper1, THelper2;
AFAIK should be possible to create new sub kind of helpers : aspects with
new syntax and functionalities. IIRC Sven did not want to use "with" just
for "type helpers" because it is reserved for more amazing feature like
"aspects", but when type helper has the same root as aspect (aspect as sub
kind of helper) then "with" can be used for both : "type helpers" and "type
aspects"
IMHO having to change every reference/declaration kind of the defeats the
purpose of helpers a bit.
True if you don't want to use a local variable, but I think the idea has merit
in the sense that you can be very explicit about what type helpers you want
in case of doubt. If it is an optional syntax, I don't see why not.
