[fpc-pascal] Property write access on records

[Ryan Joseph via fpc-pascal]

In the snippet below why isn't it an error to write to a field of the read-only 
property? I was hoping this would give me some type safety but it just writes 
to a temp variable and does nothing. Not very helpful if you ask me.


=========================

type
  TSheet = record
      m_tableSize: TVec2i;
      function GetTableSize: TVec2i;
      property TableSize: TVec2i read GetTableSize;
  end;

var
  sheet: TSheet;
begin
  // why isn't this an error?
  sheet.x := 1;
end;

Regards,
        Ryan Joseph
