Indeed they should have.
It really is too bad that they chose to emulate Java-style interfaces
rather than
Delphi-style interfaces; with Delphi's properties you can have a
'field' of an
object which can be calculated (a procedure or function) or a renaming
of an
internal field, for both reading and writing to the property. Read-
only and
write-only properties are also do-able.
