There's *some* overhead, but properties are part of the VM, so it's not
going to be much.
Also, keep in mind, anything that's [Bindable] without
[Bindable("eventName")] is going to have a get/set pair generated by MXMLC,
even if you've already written a get/set pair.
Personally, I only ever use the _privateVar reference internally when
there's some voodoo in the getter (like construction logic for first access,
or something) I need to work around in some circumstances.
