[fpc-pascal] Object properties (note: object not class)

2009-08-26 Thread Neil Graham
Is the absence of properties on Objects an omission by design or simply because no-one has gotten to it yet? Similarly case statements as they appear in records are not supported. I would quite like to have the functionality to do some sort of union on a data structure that also supported (non-vir
