Description

TPersistent is the basic class for the streaming system. Since it is compiled in the {$M+} state, the compiler generates RTTI (Run-Time Type Information) for it and all classes that descend from it. This information can be used to stream all properties of classes.

It also introduces functionality to assign the contents of 2 classes to each other.
