Here’s an example of what I was doing before. A constant is so much better and doesn’t require the implementation and we still get the same . syntax, i.e., TPoint.Up. 

Instead of removing it maybe give the error unless it’s the last field of the record and in which case can assumed to be fully defined.

type
  TPoint = record
    x: TFloat;
    y: TFloat;
    class function Up (_x: TFloat = 0; _y: TFloat = -1): TPoint; static; inline;
