Ok, you win. Here’s more or less the full snippet.

type
  TRectHelper = record helper for TVec4
    private
      procedure SetAxisX(newValue: TScalar); inline;
    public
      function MinX: TScalar; inline;
      function MinX: TScalar; inline;
      property AxisX: TScalar read MinX write SetAxisX;
  end;

function TRectHelper.MinX: TScalar;
begin
  result := v[0];
end;

function TRectHelper.MaxX: TScalar;
begin
  result := v[2];
end;

procedure TRectHelper.SetAxisX(newValue: TScalar);
begin
  v[0] += newValue;
  v[2] += newValue;
end;

==============================

rect.axisX += 10 is a compound statement. See it makes perfect sense. :) I still don’t understand why the compiler and Delphi apparently thinks this is such a crazy idea. It's just normal stuff imo.
