Seems like you'd always pay for having the data member available in the PMC struct. Otherwise, you could copy everything to a new struct with a new PMC member, but that's also painful. The only time I've ever used properties in PIR was to mark an object initializer, but we have better ways to handle that now too. I don't object to having them, but I do think we ought to have at least one good use case to help decide what they need to do and how to do them. Right now, I can't think of one. -- c
