Good enhancement, and the code works without having to wait for next version of Delphi.

What I still miss is setting length of dynamic (generic) array by RTTI: if I have a TLocation, where FType is TRttiDynamicArrayType, then a TLocation.SetLength is missing. Any hint on how to do this?

Further I miss RTTI-Invoke for methods of records a little.

I like it! Any chance we might see this in Fulcrum's RTTI.pas? I can already think of a handful of places where this might be useful.

BTW why the code duplication in the implementation of TLocation.FieldRef?
