This is a specific request to Walter and Andrei, not a call for 
yet another massive debate. I'm pretty sure every view has been 
heard already, many times over.

Walter/Andrei, can you take a final decision on this? You put a 
lot of effort in to DIP23 and it's just sitting there. It's a 
subjective topic that's been beaten to death by the community 
multiple times; there will never be consensus so it's a job for 
leadership.


P.S. I noticed something missing from DIP23:

How do I take an alias of an  property function? Or a 0-arg 
member function? Or a 1-arg free function?
Another way of putting it would be: is there a way to refer to 
the name of a function that doesn't require parens? Name as in 
pass-by-name.

Yah, I consider  property an unfinished affair that needs finishing. 
Maybe I'll work on it for the hackathon. -- Andrei
