1. Your property_rw, property_ro, property_wo have implicitly declared 
copy constructor and copy assignment operator, which have wrong semantic 
- they copy "this", while it must be tied to enveloping object.

2. FYI: I saw somewhere (maybe at stackoverflow) following C++11 
approach for properties:

class Widget
{
     int value_;
public:
     PROPERTY
     (
         int, value,
         (cout << "getter" << endl; return value_;),
         (cout << "setter" << endl; value_ = x;)
     );
};

Personally, I don't remember if I ever need properties. Though, it is 
possible that there are some application domains where they are needed.

I think such kind of property library should be mature and provide 
convenient interface, in order to be accepted into Boost.
