Ah! You were referring to the macro-based property framework that you used
in the Unit Test Library.

Well, that's a whole different story!
I have my religious reservations about things like BOOST_READONLY_PROPERTY
being a macro, but there's no point discussing this.

All my statements referred to macro-less solutions, like the one proposed by
Geourt.

This includes the statement that I'm interested in looking at a new
approach. Unfortunately, requiring explicit runtime binding (storing *this
somehow inside the properties explicitly) isn't new, so I'm not sure I like
it.
