[phobos] Time to get ready for the next release

[David Simcha]

As I've said before, we really need to decide whether @property has loose or
strict semantics.  Loose semantics means that non- at property functions would
still be callable without (), etc but @property functions wouldn't be
allowed to have ()s.  Frankly, I hate @property, want to to have as little
effect as possible,  like the flexibility of being able to call the same
function both ways, and would have a lot of code break if this were taken
away, so my vote is loose semantics.
