I found a restriction in properties which is a little disappointing. I
get there’s probably some objective of safety but Pascal is a direct

the programmer get to decide whether the property is safe or not based
upon when I call it?
type
TB = class

Which mode / which FPC version? It compiles without complaints for me
with FPC 3.0.4 and either -Mobjfpc or -Mdelphi (after adding 'begin
end.' to the end to make it a valid / compilable "program".
