What do you think a property as a var parameter is supposed to do ?

Theoretically a write to the property _could_ be compiled into a call to 
the set method. But with that the called function would need code to 
detect if the var parameter is a property and act accordingly. Though a 
nice feature, IMHO it would make things so complicated that it does not 
make much sense.

I suppose (part of) the difference is not that passing properties as 
vars was allowed but that the public value in question a not a property 
but a class variable (that _does_ have an address to be passed when 
doing "var").
