My understanding is the properties are essentially meant to be 
indistinguishable from fields (hence the syntax). save() doesn't really 
act like a field.

Honestly though, I don't like properties at all (in any language). 
Function calls should not be hidden in syntax. IMO if your code contains 
so many get/set functions that properties save you time then you have 
bigger issues.
