Properties Part 1 - the updated property syntax

Hmm, I've always been able to call MyArray->Length instead of MyArray->get_Length(). I've never explicitely called a get_* or set_* function.

Oops. array->Length was a bad example. While it is true that, in some instances, you were allowed to simply call MyArray->Length, there are some properties (especially overloaded ones) where the only recourse in C++ is to call the property via the get_ and set_ methods.

Why do I have to specify the type of the property 3 times in the definition? It makes this new syntax more verbose than the old.

Why not just adopt the C# style?
