As for the proposal itself:

>       • What is your evaluation of the proposal?

+1.

However, like Brent says: "this proposal is a good core for property
behaviors, but alone, I don't think it carries its own weight. It will need
at least a couple of the items in "Future Directions" section before it's
really worth having."

In the fact, i prefer the first version of the proposal, the first version
is more "must do", this one is "just nice".

And i'm not convincing of the syntax to, i prefer something like that:
Pipe ( | | ) operator instead `[ ]`, `{ }` or `< >`

var |lazy| a = ...
var |observable| b = ...

and this to access:

a*#*clear() // yes, without the dot.
b*#*addObserver()

"[] delimiters are heavily array/collection/subscript-centric" (Chris)

>       • Is the problem being addressed significant enough to warrant a
change to Swift?

Yes. Sure, i love the entire idea behind this proposal, i think this will
very beneficial for the language.

>       • Does this proposal fit well with the feel and direction of Swift?

Yes.

>       • If you have used other languages or libraries with a similar
feature, how do you feel that this proposal compares to those?

Just some "hacks" in Objective-C.

>       • How much effort did you put into your review? A glance, a quick
reading, or an in-depth study?

I participated in the preliminary discussions re-read all variants of this
proposal a lot of times.
