Without the -property switch, you can use non-@property functions as if they were @property. This is supposed to eventually be deprecated, so I try to not do this.
To add to this, historically it was a feature. Why add properties when you can just call functions without parentheses? Long story left elsewhere, wiki4d seems to be down!!! sorry.
Anyway, as it is a breaking change it takes forever to get rid of it (that way new code can start relying on it...)
