Description:
------------
This is a take from the objective-c language, and may prove useful in future 
releases of PHP.

Currently, to generate generic setters/getters for class properties, this must 
be done manually in the class declaration:

class Foo {

  public $bar

  function bar() {
     return $this->bar;
  }

  function setBar($val) {
     $this->bar = $val;
  }
}

This can be a tedious task when there are many properties, and clutter up the 
class. Using the __call() magic function for manual pseudo-synthesized functions 
is a complexity and extra wrapper call that could be avoided.

Feature request: the ability to have PHP automatically synthesize generic 
setters/getters for properties. You would specify which properties are 
synthesized. Syntax idea:

class Foo {
  synthesize public $bar;
  // bar() and setBar() are now automatically synthesized by PHP
}

Manual overrides to these synthesized methods are permissible, in case a non-
generic method is required. This feature would greatly simplify boiler-plate 
setter/getter setup, and avoid the overhead of using __call() as a wrapper to 
create a manual psuedo-synthesize functionality. PHP IDE's would be able to 
identify synthesized properties for auto-completion of available setter/getter 
methods.
