Its mode objfpc...

It's not a big thing.

It's only about how many extra getter methods you'll end up having in 
the declaration. And therefore how much extra code one has to read.

Of course on the day you write it => no issue, you know it's a forwarder 
with no function, you fold it away...
But one day in the future, when you revisit the code..., you will not 
remember.
