The procedure property_dec exists twice, in pdecl.pas and pdecobj.pas.

The pdecobj version seems to handle (old) syntax only, does not accept unit properties nor multiple property declarations. Should it be dropped, in favor of the pdecl version? If not, I'd suggest to rename one of these procedures, to remove any ambiguities.

Neither handles old or new syntax, both simply serve different purposes. The version in pdecl is only for property declarations outside the context of classes/objects. The version in pdecobj is only for properties declared inside classes/objects. Both use the same core functionality (pdecvar.read_property_dec) to actually parse the property declaration.

It's fine to rename them.
