I agree, though let's not fool ourselves, there is at least one corner case:

property int foo
{
    get{ ... }
    set{ ... }
}

auto bar = &foo;
what happens when someone writes this?

I've tried this in C# and it is simply forbidden.  I am OK with this,
though I'd love it if there was a better way.
