I could make get_, set_, and del_ keywords and make def optional, but that
would be a weird precedent and don't you think that is getting a bit too
cryptic just to save typing three keystrokes?  If we did that then what
would keep us from doing the same thing with init_?

Object Widget:
      init_(x):           # There is no "def" here
          self.x = x

Were you making a silly point just to show that we shouldn't have the "prop"
keyword? :-)
