Thanks for the link.

I've been able to implement a better version than the first I posted.
Now there are just TWO pointers to member functions
per class, not per object. So every property has a pointer to an
object and the pointers to member functions are shared.

The properties can be virtual as well. You need to initialize
non-trivial properties with this pointer. You can also initialize it
with the this pointer and a value, but you don't need to initialize in
the runtime parameters the getters and setters anymore.
