From: "Oren Tirosh" <oren-py-d@hishome.net> 
> The statement "def foo(...):" is just a shortcut for the assignment
> "foo=new.function(CODE, GLOBS, 'foo')". So why not make "def foo.bar(...):"
> a shortcut for "foo.bar=new.function(CODE, GLOBS, 'foo.bar')" ?

>   prop = property()
> 
>   def prop.fget(self):
>      ...
> 
>   def prop.fset(self, value):
>      ...
