That would make sense and be more consistent.  I think it might have
been a oversight when TComponent.Loading was implemented.

Yup, that was my only request at the time. Without Loading() I
couldn't set the ComponentState field and reuse the existing csLoading
flag. I don't use the stream classes (TReader/TWriter) to construct
and setup my components in fpGUI, I use plain Object Pascal and their
properties. In my case csLoading is used to control whether events
fire or not, when properties are modified.
