As I already asked in the past, I'm in favour to have them for
intern usage only (understand used by extension). As we already for
propoerties read or write. For those who do not know, you have no
way to know that you in a ++, -- call. At least for ++,-- and
friends.
A typical usage could be data that fits in a defined range (ie
date/time values).
