What about smart pointers then? I don’t want Pascal to get left behind on this. We need a solution for this and I want it to be the least intrusive possible and I think C++ did the right thing. Keep in mind this is in retrospect after developing default properties (https://github.com/genericptr/freepascal/tree/defaultprops) albeit perhaps poorly, and seeing how intrusive the idea is compared to what C++ did. 

Any other voices on this would be welcome.
