One thing that I have not found in the RFC is how do you specify a
default value AND accessors?

Many examples show things like:

    protected $Seconds = 3600;

    public $Hours {
        get { return $this->Seconds / 3600; }
        set { $this->Seconds = $value * 3600; }
    }

But what if I want to store something in a different internal
representation for example with a default. Is this valid syntax?

    public $hexFoo = 10 {
        get { return dechex($this->foo); }
        set { $this->hexFoo = hexdec($value); }
    }

Or is it this?

    public $hexFoo {
        get { return dechex($this->foo); }
        set { $this->hexFoo = hexdec($value); }
    } = 10;

Is it possible at all?

Cheers
