first of all, I think comp.lang.c++.moderated is a better place to discuss things like that.
then, I don't think the next version of C++ will have properties as a language feature.
see n1615 for a few arguments by comitee members.
I don't agree with all of them but the most important is: without reflection, properties are only a syntax change of something you can achieve without properties as well.
this paper also proposes a library solution without core language extension you might be interested in - although it has drawbacks like implementation pointer overhead.
