+    The descriptor mechanism described in PEP 252 is powerful enough
+    to support this more directly.  A 'getset' constructor may be
+    added to the language making this possible:
+
+      class C:
+          def get_x(self):
+              return self.__x

+          x = getset(get_x, set_x)
+
+    Additional syntactic sugar might be added, or a naming convention
+    could be recognized.
