I think this is quite powerful. The way we can do this is by making
properties emulate a subset of actual variables.

I agree with Jonathan.
Please do not make them a subset. Make them as identical as possible.
The subset thing makes them no longer "swappable". Allow variables to
be marked with @property to limit them to operations that @property
functions can do, and make sure @property functions are limited to what
@property variables can do (ex: no address-of!). With that in hand,
they'll be very swappable.
