Description

Currently, all constants are rendered as

  TConstants = class
  private
    class var FmyInt: TmyIntType;
    class var Fhex_const: Integer;
    class var FGEN_ME: Integer;
    class var FGEn_DU: Double;
    // ...
  public
    class property myInt: TmyIntType read FmyInt;
    class property hex_const: Integer read Fhex_const;
    class property GEN_ME: Integer read FGEN_ME;
    class property GEn_DU: Double read FGEn_DU;
    // ...

and the F-members initialized in the CTOR. At least for base types this could be improved to

  TConstants = class
  public
    const myInt = LongInt( 3);
    const hex_const = LongInt( 31);
    const GEN_ME = LongInt( -3523553);
    const GEn_DUB = 325.532;
