I don't know whether it's Delphi compatible, but this error was already 
there if you've used AnsiString, so it is a logical extension that this 
error also appears if String is an alias to AnsiString.

And yes, the compiler won't let you write such a record (or let you even 
define a "file of" type of this record).
