You could of course "just" do the wrapping in property().  I put that in
quotes because you'd have the problem of knowing when to wrap and when
not to, but there would be ways to solve that.  But I won't belabor the
point any longer, except to ask what happens when you typo one of those
strings?  What kind of exception do you get and when do you get it?
