That was just an example, nothing to do with TValue. We need pointer getters for “array of record” so we can do:

list[0]^.x := 100;

and it will actually write to the actual record in the array and not a returned copy. However due to how the properties are currently structured this means we can’t use the setter without passing pointers:

list[0] := @vec;

That’s why I think it’s worthing considering the overloading properties to solve this.
