I agree with pretty much everything that you said, and it's exactly why we 
need explicit properties. So, we need to keep @property and make whatever 
adjustments are necessary in order to make it function like a variable would 
to the point that you can swap out variables and property functions without 
breaking code (though that will probably mean allowing something like marking 
variables with @property to make them be treated as rvalues rather than just 
improving the handling of property functions).
