Hi,

I had replied to this last night, but apparently my phone decided to send the 
reply to the original sender, not the list.  :-P

Listener list properties are currently handled differently than other 
properties. The assumption was that if you want to define a listener in Java or 
other compiled language, you'll probably want to use Bindable and attach your 
listeners that way. It is possible to support the described syntax - I just 
didn't expect developers to want to do that.  :-)
