Whatever property syntax is chosen, I believe it should enable 
properties to work as first-class values. So if you have a class 
instance frail with property loops, you should be able to do 
frail.loops++, &frail.loops, and all the other wonderful things 
impossible with properties currently.

This has already been discussed a number of times before, and Walter has 
agreed a change might be necessary (see this post:
