The language report says that "a record type can be defined as an 
extension of another record type" and "pointer types inherit the 
extension relation of their base types". I think the wording is 
intentionally slightly vague to allow for a pointer to be used as a 
record base type as described in the Oberon ARM compiler document.

Has it been mentioned at some point that it "didn't make it into the 
eventual official Oberon-07 Language Report"?
