On which wiki page did you find this code?

Properties can only read via methods or fields, not via constants. A constant
is not the same as a field. Does Delphi allow the above?

Properties that return strings cannot have a default value. Only immediate
values that moreover fit in 32 bits can be used as default value, due to the
format of the RTTI. See http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=19199 for more
information.

It results in the class method not getting a hidden "self" parameter, which
otherwise contains the class reference on which the class method was invoked.
