Is not related. AFAIK "class property" exist for complexity of language
(otherwise usage of "static" methods would be impossible for "property"
syntax).

You can use Get/Set pair of static methods in "property" form. Might be
more handy.

In other scenario (for normal "property") this call will raise AV.

btw. "class property" is probably slightly faster ;) because don't pass
"self" parameter.
