Detailed Description

Credits: The Property pattern is taken from "Patterns in Practice: A Property Template for C++", from "C++ Report", Nov/Dec 1995, p.

28-33, by Colin Hastie. I've in turn extended it to allow for "true" Delphi-like property syntax by allowing you to assign normal T objects to the TProperty<T>, as well as provide an implict conversion-to-T operator. Note that this implicit conversion is NOT highly held in regard by many C++-ers, and therefore can be #defined out of existence by #define-ing STRICT_PROPERTY_SYNTAX before #include-ing this file. Delphi (and C++Builder) also allow for methods to be used instead of direct access to data members; this, too, is allowed, by making use of the callback mechanism within VDBT/BDTF.H. TProperty<T> can be constructed to take two callbacks, one returning T taking void (get), and the other returning void and taking a const T& (set). These methods will be called in place of accessing the m_content method of Property<>, below. Note that I'm assuming that if you write the 'get', you'll also write the 'set', and that both methods provide their own storage for T (instead of relying on m_content within the TProperty<T>).

Requirements; TProperty assumes that the type T has meaningful orthodox canonical form semantics (default ctor, copy ctor, assignment op, dtor)
