This how Borland's Object Pascal (Delphi) language works, too. Properties are actually defined by a different syntax than member fields and for each property both the read and write operations can be defined as either direct access or via an accessor/mutator, or omitted altogether to make the property read- or write-only. I guess .NET adopts a variation of this same approach. It's pretty neat syntactic magic, but having come to Java from Delphi (via some detours) I can say I don't really miss the sugar at all.

P.S. If I'm reading this correctly, the simple dot notation is actually the
standard in .NET, but with implicit calls to getters/setters. That's
actually kind of neat, and I bet I cold get used to it.
