I'd be all for just eliminating the "class", "record", and "type" helper and adding support for just using "helper" in all modes.
type TPointHelper = helper for TPoint end; TCanvasHelper = helper for TCanvas end; TDoubleHelper = helper for Double end; TInterfaceHelper = helper for IInterface end; I know this would make code written this way incompatible with Delphi, but I think pretending the helper type serves no actual purpose. The only thing it does is it makes it harder for developers to remember which names to use in which cases. The compiler should be able to figure it out.
