Properties have bothered me, but for a different reason. It appears that everyone's answer to everything is "make it a property!" Properties are just strange to comprehend...they are like hidden attributes that are squirreled away until you least expect them...then they pop up and bite you. I've never gotten the warm fuzzies from properties, new ones just appear out of thin air and I feel like they are the kitchen sink feature of Perl6 (along with grammar rewrites...in which you can make your one character program make your morning toast for you if you decide to rewrite the grammar). So, yes properties bother me, no not because they are wordy (wordiness is not bad...clarity good...linenoise bad). Tanton
