Me neither: if the semantics are loose @property serves no purpose.

But there's still a big problem: the semantics of @property are quite ambiguous when it comes to the array member syntax. Something needs to be done about that before @property can be enforced properly.

I think having a @property-enforced mode, which could stay experimental for a few releases (activated with a command-line switch), would help test and sort out many of those issues. I can make a pull request for that -- is that a good idea?
