I am using simple class properties facility for some time and found it quite useful. Actually it's nothing fancy - simple helper classes to eliminate repetitive setter/accessor methods (and no need for language extensions).

If you are making designs that would normally have a lot of getters and setters, it suggests that they may have an insufficient level of abstraction. Of course, that isn't neccessarily the case -- but it does seem to be the rule in my code. I personally don't have a need for this facility and I don't think I want a library that would encourage that style. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
