However it would be nice to have a feature like

property Foo[Index: Integer; Ask: Boolean]: Integer write SetFooAsk

The must have different Method Names, because the Setters(write SetFoo)
last argument is the Value, so it' can not have a optional Ask element:
procedure WrongSetFoo(Index: Integer; Ask: Boolean= True; AValue: Integer);
But with different Setter/Getters that would not be a problem. In fact they
can have the same name, if they are overloaded.
Any idea if such a feature would have a chance?
It won't: http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=12737 (that feature request
was about having getters/setters with the same name, but the core problem is
having multiple properties with the same name).
As far as I know, delphi 2005 and up allow the problem in 12737 for
non-published properties.
Since array properties cannot be published anyway, the argument with RTTI is
void ?
(which doesn't mean there are no other arguments to prevent it's implementation)
