Properties are syntactic sugar, I do not find the issues related to
function/property ambiguity to an issue. The only thing I have against the
current syntax is that you can't use shortcuts like += or ++. If this can be
resolved without a new syntax, the better.
I find writing
property int foo { get; set;}
More work than
public int foo;
