It is, if you consider properties to be functions that can be called
without parentheses. Which is quite a lame definition of property if you
ask me.
But yeah my proposal makes properties to be considered functions, just
with some guarantees regarding encapsulation and the special syntax that
prop=a;
means: prop(a);
Actually Michel Fortin summarizes the DIP quite to the point:

In addition it restricts the setter syntax (prop=a) to be interpreted in
a non UFCS way, meaning there will be no setter methods with two
parameters. (Not accounting for the implicit this parameter)
