[swift-evolution] [Proposal] Property behaviors

[Howard Lovatt]

If a Property Behavior is 'officially' defined as a syntax sugar:

    var _name = ...
    var name: Type {
        get { return _name }
        set { _name = ... }
    }

Then allow:

    _name.behaviorMember ...

This is simple to implement, understand, and document.
