Personally I find properties atrocious and unsafe. One cannot
distinguish between a function call and binding an attribute in a
statement like:

foo.bar = 2 # Does this call a function or bind an attribute?
            # Is this foo.setBar(2) or setattr(foo,'bar',2)?

Even worse: if we make a typo, the error will not be detected as the
syntax is still valid. Properties and dynamic binding do not mix.
