-property is gone, so I guess there's nothing to do here...

I actually don't agree this should be wontfix (though that does seem to be the status quo). We don't have -property, but we do still have @property and this is the one compelling case where I actually want to use it.

Agreed. Regardless of -property, without a fix along these lines, the property syntax is somewhat crippled. And @property could still be improved to fix this even if it's unnecessary in most cases that you want to use the property syntax.

I am changing this to an enhancement request though rather than simply reopening it.

Wouldn't "fixing" this today be a breaking language change?

As far as I understand, such changes now need to go through the DIP process, though if they're going to break code, that's unlikely to go anywhere.

Does this issue have a snowball's chance in hell to be fixed? If not, then it's pointless to keep it open.

It's probably the only thing related to @property that _does_ have a chance of being fixed. It does require a DIP though.
