This also seems to be one of the more contentious parts in the discussion here, and appears to be non-critical in the use-cases listed in the proposal.  So +1 to the proposal itself, -1 to the ability to add methods to properties and call them, with the latter perhaps separated out into a future extension.  +1 for keeping the underbar in the behavior definition syntax, or even explicitly binding it to a string literal; it seems quite likely this will be useful.

Sure, that's definitely a suite of functionality that could be factored into its own discussion.
