But property setters are often supposed to change 'this'? Honestly I can
hardly see much utility in @property. For example, Q_PROPERTY in Qt adds
value. It is introspectable, can fire a notification when changed,
optionally shows up in the designer, is resettable to a default value and
more. Is @property only useful for disambiguating the case when a function
returns a callable?
