Michael.I mean for properties though so it’s not actually adding a type, just making an alias: property F: integer read x; that should just map “x” to “F”, right? I’m getting an error on this however.
I would think this should be allowed, yes. I see no reason to disallow it. That said, I see also no reason why on earth you would want to add this, as you can just access x ? The only sensible addition would be using a getter/setter, to do some kind of check or transformation. Michael.
