  But i'm not sure, maybe i'm doing something wrong. This compiles:

  type A = object of RootObj
    test: proc(i: A): bool
  var a: proc(i: A): bool
  Run

  But not the following:

  type A = object #of RootObj <-- COMMENTED
    test: proc(i: A): bool
  var a: proc(i: A): bool #However there are 0 problems if i comment this too
  Run

  It fails with the following message:

  c:\nim\test\nimcache\compiler_test.c:11:1: error: unknown type name
   'TY92012'
   TY92012 test;
   ^
  Error: execution of an external program failed
  Run

  Definitely a bug. Even if this should not be possible, then the Nim compiler should complain. Would be nice if you could report it as an issue on GitHub.
