Because properties are implemented underneath as functions. get_PropName set_PropName A ref argument cannot point to a func, and if it did, it would point to the wrong function in any case. ref arg needs the passing value; it would need the get_PropName function for it. but ref arg needs to set the value as well; it would need the set_PropName function for it.
