One alternative implementation: if GCC supported a "property" attribute,
specifying (optional) functions to get or set the property (with compile-time
errors if attempting to get/set a property for which the corresponding function
does not exist), that would completely address this issue as well: just define
a no-op setter and either a constant or non-existent getter.
