Property rewriting; I feel it's important. Is there still time?

It has been pointed out that C#'s properties are "right" after 4 years of  
development.  I was just pointing out that C# doesn't agree with what has  
been proposed.

I am undecided whether I like the idea of chained properties performing  
this trick.  As long as we can guarantee that it truly is the correct  
choice on the compiler's part, I have no problem.  This may mean  
disallowing compilation a la C# in certain cases where the compiler is  
unsure.  You can always workaround by writing the steps manually (as the  
C# error message suggests).
