I'd say using a class statement to define a property is metaclass abuse, as would anything that wouldn't define something class-like. The same is true for other constructs, using an decorator to define something that is not a callable would IMHO also be abuse.

That said, I really have an opinion on the 'create' statement proposal yet. It does seem to have a very limited field of use.
This is definitely non-true. The 'create' statement would have lots of applications. On top of my mind I can think of 'create' applied to:
- bunches;
- modules;
- interfaces;
- properties;
- usage in framewors, for instance providing sugar for Object-Relational mappers, for making templates (i.e. a create HTMLPage);
- building custom minilanguages;
- ...
This is way I see a 'create' statement is frightening powerful addition to the language.
