Not sure how default fields in generics help here. I just thought it would be
nice if FPC supported this so we can init records at compile time easier. I’d
prefer default struct fields like C++ has but typed const defaults would be an
improvement.
I looked at the sources and in ttypedconstbuilder.read_typed_const_data (I
think) it simply doesn’t support default record values with typed consts, only
the = (a:x;b:x) style syntax. The typed const in the class was clearly defined
as a hidden static var but I couldn’t figure out how to assign the values.
Maybe I’ll look into it later.
