Regarding this point, I've realised that the current short-hand set syntax
isn't actually any shorter:
set { $this->phone = $this->santizePhone($value); }
set => $this->phone = $this->santizePhone($value);
It also feels weird to say both "the right-hand side must be a valid
expression" and "the value of the expression is ignored".
So I think making the short-hand be "expression to assign to the implicit
backing field" makes a lot more sense.
