Yes, but not just any function. Side-effect free function that controls
access to data. And Adam suggested it is fine to use properties to add
side-effects to data assignments which is drastically different. I agree
with all your words so it is probably just misunderstanding.
Actually I said that in C# is possible to write properties with
side-effects, but that it runs counter to guidelines. I personally do NOT
write properties with side-effects.
I was attempting to illustrate in a [much to] concise way why optional
parens are bad...
