If @property worked for a thing to return a delegate, it would
be useful.
But noooo, we got worked up over syntax and forgot about
semantics :(
@property is useful for setters. Now, IMHO setters are a code
stink anyway but sometimes they're the way to go. I have no
idea what it's supposed to do for getters (nor am I interested
in learning or retaining that information) and never slap the
attribute on.
My view of getters is that they serve as a contract of between
contractor and client stating "You can't modify this value, I
however can".
