first of all, I think comp.lang.c++.moderated is a better place to
discuss things like that.
then, I don't think the next version of C++ will have properties as a
language feature.
see n1615 for a few arguments by comitee members.
I don't agree with all of them but the most important is: without
reflection, properties are only a syntax change of something you can
achieve without properties as well.
this paper also proposes a library solution without core language
extension you might be interested in - although it has drawbacks like
implementation pointer overhead.
