I thought of one other problem with this proposal.  You can no longer get  
a delegate of a property.  Like it or not, there will be existing code  
that does get a delegate to properties (it is allowed now).

I think we should provide a __traits accessor for this.  Otherwise, there  
is no way to port said code to the new style.
