[PHP-BUG] Req #69262 [NEW]: Native property-support

From:             andreas dot prucha at gmail dot com
Operating system: 
PHP version:      Irrelevant
Package:          PHP Language Specification
Bug Type:         Feature/Change Request
Bug description:Native property-support

Description:
------------
I think native support for properties like in Delphi would be nice. For
example:

{

  protected $myPropertyField;

  public proprety $myProperty get $myPropertyField set setMyProperty;

  public function setMyProperty($aValue)
  {
    $this->myPropertyField = $aValue;
  }

}

In the declaration a getter and setter could be defined, which could be
either direct reference to a variable or a setter/getter function.

I know it's syntatctic sugar, but it may make property declarations more
obvious, easier to document (once phpdocumentor supports it) and it
might even bring slight performance gains as we do not go through __get
and __set to determine the getter/setter function.
