I like where this is going, but I'd rather see a bigger setup for auto-POJO classes.

I don't think the two approaches conflict. One of the sneaky aims of auto-assignment parameters is to encourage people to write classes with decent constructors (by making it a bit easier to do so) - such that an instance will only be in a valid state when the constructor finishes.

An approach such as the one you suggest (if and when there's an opportunity to add it to the language) could then generate getters, but no setters, which is complementary in my view.
