IMHO the way it could be done would be for the compiler to create a temporary variable. This could be passed in as var/out-param, and then be assigned to the property, using the proper setter-procedure.
That results in semantics than a var/out parameter, because updates to a var/out parameter are expected to be immediately globally visible, while in this case they would only be visible after the callee has returned. You'd need something like a "copyback" parameter type for this (which then indeed could also be used with properties as opposed to only with regular fields/variables.
