properties should be just "variables without address". that is, 
taking the address of a property should be forbidden.

if one needs to take the address, then the programmer should not 
implement it as a property.

if one programmer tries to convert an existing variable to a 
property, then he/she should remove addresses where required.

why so much hassle to think "variable" when speaking about 
"property"?
