I think that it's been clear for some time that there's no way to please both 
the folks who want strong property enforcement and those who want weak 
property enforcement. One side is going to lose out, and much as I'm very much 
in favor strong property enforcement (and Nick clearly is as well), I think 
that it's fairly clear at this point that the majority of folks arond here are 
not (in great part due to UFCS). Not to mention, sorting out proper property 
enforcement has taken so long given all of the other priorities, that doing 
strong property enforcement would probably break quite a lot of code at this 
point.
