The issue is what if b is a property, returns a temporary object, and

It's a classic problem with properties that are implemented as functions.
I don't see how C#'s special property syntax adds any value for dealing
with this.
One thought I had was to simply disallow the '.' to appear after a
function style property.
What I don't see is why a property isn't just a property. What you
announce is more a kind of "universal maybe these value holder"
- a temporary object is not a property period
If something is exceeding the meaning of property then fire up your
keyboard.
