No, it has been stated few times already (actually I have just
given answer to the same question to Adam) - properties should be
reasoned AS IF they are fields/variables, by design. They are
abstraction/encapsulation tools and their implementation details
should not matter to the reader. You see property - you assume it
is as field, because it looks like one.
That is why having .length of array as a property that
reallocates is so horrible.
