I've actually seen it, although I can't say I've personally used it.
property MaxLength: Integer read FMaxLength write SetMaxLength default 0;
There's nothing to stop you from doing:
private Integer MaxLength; public void setMaxLength(Integer MaxLength) {
this.Maxlength = MaxLength; } public Integer getMaxLength() { return
this.MaxLength(); }
Well, nothing except knowing it's a bad style :) And no, I'm not trying
to compare that single OPascal line and this, clearly the Pascal line is
cleaner.
Is this so hard to implement in the compiler?
I certainly wouldn't think so. I'd be willing to bet there is a reason
it hasn't been done before though because I agree it would make a lot of
sense.
Why anyone would call that evil I don't understand. Care to convince me
it is? :)
See above ;-)
I guess I took the word "evil" quite literally :) I agree what Java
offers in this regard is probably sub-par, but I still think there is
enough value in a class that does the bare minimum, just in terms of
organization, to not want to attach the word "evil" to it... if you said
"non-optimal", I would agree :)
