Why do we need @property fields?
I mean, it's nice tho have the setter and getter beeing created 
automatically, but one of the important properties of @property 
is to have control if you want only a getter (read only) or only 
a setter (write only), but here you get always both.

Also, I mainly use @property if I do NOT have a field, but the 
value is generated on the fly from other data (getter) or the 
input produces other effects/change multiple fields (setter).
