If I correctly understand Walters proposal and Andrei's view 
point, neither are proposing to fully axe property-like behavior. 
I stand to be corrected, but they both seem to think that 
enforcement through @property is not required, and that's the 
main point being put on the chopping block.

Walter and Andrei may want to clarify since I cannot speak for 
them.
