Do you consider a dynamic arrays' length property to be a good, 
properly designed property:

array.length = 7;

It does behave like a field, but it's got pretty serious side 
effects that you just need to know about. And, I don't see much 
point in having properties that are not allowed to have any 
side-effects.
