I speak of the property rewriting where an expression like

I think this is fine as long as we don't take it to the extreme. That is,
I don't want to see this happening:
foo.prop1.prop2++;
is rewritten to
auto p1 = foo.prop1;
auto p2 = p1.prop2;
p2++;
p1.prop2 = p2;
foo.prop1 = p1;
I think one level of lowering is enough to handle the most common cases.
Of course, if a property returns an lvalue, then it should just work.
