Of course Delphi does, it was designed and architected by the same guy
who did C#.
MS hired up all the delphi people at borland, and put them on hiatus
for the longest time.


He also added properties to C++ builder through adding his own
keywords to the langugae, which is the source of many
complaints of people trying to move C++ builder apps to other C++
compilers.

In fact, all he's ever seemed to do is add properties to things.
Not that this is good all the time.
