Problems with properties

[Michael Schneider]

Thanks to all,  I added the object as a subclass (should this be 
required for 2.4.1 ???)

I also switched to the decorator with the @property syntax

Thank you very much for the help for adding @property to the language.

what a great language :-)

The greatest performance improvement occurs on the transition of from 
the non-working state to the working state.
