But I still like the version with strings better:

x = property('getx', 'setx') This trades two lambdas for two pairs of string quotes; a good deal IMO!

You could of course "just" do the wrapping in property(). I put that in quotes because you'd have the problem of knowing when to wrap and when not to, but there would be ways to solve that. But I won't belabor the point any longer, except to ask what happens when you typo one of those strings? What kind of exception do you get and when do you get it?
