Description

Feature to optionally create code which registers Thrift-generated Delphi interfaces with their implementing classes. This enables the developer to easily create an entity based on the known interface types and/or create thrift entities within generic classes more easily:

var thing : IThing;
begin
  thing := TypeRegistry.Construct<IThing>;
  // do something with thing
end;

Without this feature, one would have to know the class name and write:

var thing : IThing;
begin
  thing := TThingImpl.Create;
  // do something with thing
end;
