Is that why Inc() and Dec() can't be applied to properties, or are there
other issues?
http://wiki.freepascal.org/User_Changes_2.4.0#Treating_direct-mapped_properties_as_regular_fields
Noted, but I think my real question is whether the compiler could
recognise that the optimisation is inappropriate and instead generate
+=n (with range checking).
Frankly, I'm fairly happy with the += idiom but I appreciate that there
are some people who object that "it's not Pascal". I think that an
alternative to having to repeat the full name of a deep property is
desirable: it's obviously possible to use with but some people don't
like that either :-)
