True, but a function's/class's/data-member's interface shouldn't help 
facilitate weird code. The creator of the function/class/data-member knows 
the semantics of whatever interface they're creating, so *they* are the 
proper ones who should have to choose between function syntax and property 
syntax, *not* the user of the interface.
