Is there a difference between declaring a class property "Dependent" versus "Dependent = true"?

The title says it all. The documentation doesn't make it clear whether or not there is a difference between

properties(Dependent)
    aProp
end

and

properties(Dependent=true)
    aProp
end

since it uses both seemingly interchangeably. Is there a difference?

Yes, they are equivalent. Also, you can do,

properties(~Dependent)
    aProp
end

as an equivalent to,

properties(Dependent=false)
    aProp
end

There is no difference. For attributes which are binary (true/false) then just putting the attribute name is the same as toggling it from its default state.
