Class constants

FP supports typed class constants, if the compiler-switch

{$static on}

is set. There are no untyped class constants.

type
    TCars = class(TVehicles)
        private
        public
            wheelcount: integer; static;
    end;

begin
    TCars.wheelcount := 4;
    // further assignments are forbidden
end.
