How about allow it like this:
property Type Name{ ListOfFunctions };
where ListOfFunctions may contain one "Type fn(void)" and any number of
"Type/void fn(Type2)" so long as the overload rules can unambiguously
select one of them for all types. The value of an assignment to a
property would be the return, if any, of the given function. The value
of the property as a strict R-value would be the fn(void), if it exists.
This wouldn't work exactly like a member but, with a little care, would
be darn close.
I like the override of opXxxAssign to.
