One problem I see here is that #DEFINE constants are used to replace a token that you type in code with the value of the constant at compile time when building the object code.

The properties are read in at run time. At run time there are no defined constants.

So, all I can see it doing is replacing the contants at compile/save time of your class with the value for the #define. This doesn't help much if you change the #define.

But, why don't you init the properties in code using your contants.

Have you actually submitted this somewhere? I think this is the first I have ever seen it, and I usually keep up with the wish lists.
