What a strange observation from someone wanting to introduce defmacros 
and customizable syntax in Python....

FWIW, "binding an attribute" will *alway* require some function call... 
Properties - or any other computed attributes - are just hooks into the 
default __setattr__ implementation so you can customize it.

 From the client code POV, it binds an attribute - whatever the 
implementation is.

 From the implementation POV, it will always call a couple functions.

What's you point, exactly ?

Why do you care ? Ever heard about the concept of "encapsulation" ?

So what ? This has nothing to do with properties.

Sorry, but IMVHO, this is total bullshit.
