How should it be any diferent from normal access via the property getter? If you use the rtti you can tell whether or not the curent value is the default value, but you can't tel if it is the default value by default or by choice.

For numerical values it is 0 or eventually a default value, but how about strings? Should an empty string be returned or a NIL pointer? I'm mostly thinking of property editors and the object inspector here.
