I get why some people avoid them, but any feature can be abused.
If you are hiding 2000 loc inside a property, then it's a you 
problem.

This makes me think of `scope(exit)`/`defer` for some reason.
Simple feature, but some people like to spam it so much that the 
control flow gets hard to follow.
