Hmm, while nothing can be said against having it as a setter/getter pair,
it does not make possible inspection of the "property" "Secure" in the
current RB-debugger, if you know what I mean.

Correct.

I'd prefer to use the REALproperty list for declarations if there is a
choice between REALMethodDefinition and REALproperty, because of debugger
considerations.

There are valid reasons for our choice of method pairs instead of properties. When possible, we try to use properties, but there are just going to be times when that's not possible (for example, if the property causes side effects).
