thanks!
though I think an implementation like the one described in N1615 is 
impractical to use, because, besides the overhead of the implementation 
pointer, you need to explicitly construct each property.
which isn't required, with the drawback of using a macro to declare 
properties.

however, where can you find it? it isn't in the sandbox anymore.
