Re: Debugger tries to access count property before _new completes

I think the title states pretty clearly what is happening.
I don't like octopi, but do play bagpipes.
Can you ..b

No, guarding against this is "overthinking". Also I think as far as I
can tell from your description, this is more an issue than a bug.

Need a more concrete example of what is happening. .. I have a class
COctopus that has a constructor that does "this" and an enumerator that
does "that" when a clutch of COctopus objects are transversed. The
clutch of COctopi are held in a bagpipe object which purportedly has a
Count property. When I have the bagpipe open as a debugger popup then
the constructor constraint that the count of COctopi in the bagpipes is
indeterminant is causing me confusion if not indecision. See what I mean.
