Re: Cool things you can do with Delphi

If anyone want's to see what can be done with the new Delphi
features, have a look at http://cc.codegear.com/Item/25386. It is a
neat example of a combination of class helpers, enumerators and
invokable custom variants with the result of much more readable code.

That is awesome, and as someone who uses datasets all day long, exactly
the kind of incremental improvements to existing features that I'm
hoping that CG will be working on going forward. The main downside I
see to your technique is that the code is late bound and therefore (at
least according to my programming philosophy) more prone to bugs,
although no different from what you get with FieldByName. Yes, I'm sure
there's a performance cost too, but it's a worthwhile tradeoff in my
opinion.
