Your topic made me laugh.  It's probably not meant to be funny, but it just 
sounds so funny :)

I suppose a (d) would be to create an explicit property syntax, like in C#, 
which would eliminate this whole problem.

In addition, I would imagine it'd make it one step closer to being able to 
do

obj.prop+= 5;

As if you were to define the property as

class A
{
    private int mValue;

    public property int prop
    {
        set(int value)
        {
            mValue = value;
        }

        get()
        {
            return mValue;
        }
    }
}

The compiler would know that the property is read and write, and would know 
exactly how to compile an += expression.
