Pascal has style, simplicity, and an elegance about it. It was roundly criticized for the small differences from C (we always complain the most about the smallest details)

So instead we now have constructor factories that turn out classes so that you can abstract away what used to be a simple Record type in Pascal, in only 5 times the number of lines of code.

I strongly suggest reconsidering, and moving to the more elegant solution.
