According to http://edn.

According to http://edn.embarcadero.com/article/44358, RSP-9850 (https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-9850) has been resolved. This is the mystery of what the type of construct is. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27555272/what-type-of-declaration-represents-in-delphi-and-how-can-it-be-used

Does anybody know how this has been resolved?
