I never understood why we can't initialize fields at init time for records.
Pascal seems to be the only language that doesn't support this in 2020.
Thinking of C++, C#, PHP, Swift and many more all let you do this. Not even
Delphi supports this AKAIK.
type
TMyRecord = record
X, Y: Integer = 0;
S: String = '';
end;
