Except that mixins are generally unacceptable in APIs, because they don't end 
up in the documentation. That means that this works only if you don't care 
about documentation. So, it's almost useless. Putting @property on there also 
looks better but isn't that big a deal. However, the lack of documentation 
_is_ a big deal.
