Description

Class helpers are great tools. However, they have one limitation that is annoying and that would need to be removed to make them even more effective:

You can define and associate multiple class helpers with a single class type. However, only zero or one class helper applies in any specific location in source code. The class helper defined in the nearest scope will apply. Class helper scope is determined in the normal Delphi fashion (i.e. right to left in the unit's uses clause).

I'd think that the following would only apply when there is a clash of names but I don't understand why it should be the case when no such conflict exists.
