For numbers, IMO it is over-complicated... Code like
15.Power2;
seems strange to me as well.

But it is definitely needed for enums:

program project1;

{$mode delphi}

type
   TMyEnum = (eOne, eTwo, eThree);

   TMyEnumHelper = record helper for TMyEnum
   public
     class function One: TMyEnum; static;
   end;

{ TMyEnumHelper }

class function TMyEnumHelper.One: TMyEnum;
begin
   Result := eOne;
end;

var
   e: TMyEnum;
begin
   e.|
   TMyEnum.|;
end.

-> doesn't work for me. (I am not sure if it is a regression, though. I 
don't remember everything. Nevertheless, it should work.)
