No more, no less.
I don't see any use in allowing or disallowing something. And with the current design, it is, as I
said, impossible, without macros, to compile the same code with {$M+} and {$M-}.
It has no impact on the other visibilities whatsoever. And that will not
change, if only for Delphi compatibility.
Adding a visibility specifier "visible" meaning "published" with {$M+} and "public" with {$M-}
doesn't degrade Delphi compatibility. Anyway, I did that now for my source code with macros, but
it's clumsy.
If this is not acceptable, then you will need to wait for the extended
RTTI or use fcl-passrc to solve your need.
I tried fcl-passrc but it didn't produce anything but crashes. I much welcome
the extended RTTI.
Keep up the good work.
