[Feature] High level Variant Records

[440bx]

Assuming that String = AnsiString it absolutly not allowed, same for any other managed type (ShortString is not a managed type). This is because the compiler/RTL must be able to correctly apply the type's management functions to the field. If it would be inside a variant record the compiler/RTL would not be able to decide which field is set and thus it might call the management functions on an illegal value.

You're right.  I overlooked that.

I fixed a few bugs that I encountered while testing it further, and added an example program to show how the managed variants can be used to represent tree structures without a single new-dispose

In my opinion, this solution would be useful.
