zero argument member functions versus properties

[Peter Cacioppi]

I just said 


"1-> the zero argument function is sort of factory-like. It potentially has non-trivial run time, or it substitutes calling a class constructor when building certain objects.
2-> it simply retrieves a stored value (perhaps lazily evaluating it first)

so 1 should clearly be a zero argument member function. 2 should be a method. "

typo. Obviously, 2 should be a property.
