[IronPython] .NET attributes for methods

This looks very promising but I cannot make it work. I have changed 
product.py in DevHawk's example to:

#from clrtypeold import ClrMetaclass
import clrtype

class Product(object):
  #__metaclass__ = ClrMetaclass
  __metaclass__ = clrtype.ClrClass
  _clrnamespace = "DevHawk.IronPython.ClrTypeSeries"
  #_clrproperties = {
    #"name":str,
    #"cost":float,
    #"quantity":int,
    #}
    
  def __init__(self, name, cost, quantity):
    self.name = name
    self.cost = cost
    self.quantity = quantity
    
  def calc_total(self):
    return self.cost * self.quantity

  @property
  @clrtype.accepts()
  @clrtype.returns(str)
  def name(self):
      return self._name

  @name.setter
  @clrtype.accepts(str)
  @clrtype.returns()
  def name(self, value):
      self._name = value


When I run it I don't see any items in the listbox. When I check the 
name, it is a property:

py> a.root.listbox1.Items[0]

=> <Product object at 0x000000000000002B>

py> a.root.listbox1.Items[0].GetType().GetProperties()

=> Array[PropertyInfo]((<System.Reflection.RuntimePropertyInfo object at 0x000000000000002C [System.String name]>))

Whe I used the old clrtype with _clrproperties = {'name': str, ...}, it 
worked.
