I don't think this is syntactic sugar, it goes deeper into the language than 
that if done right. 

I like your userland implementation, but it will get slow once you start 
walking inheritance trees. It does provide me with a forwards-compatible way 
to do it though (in case the dev team ever do take up the idea of building it 
in to the language...). Hmm. Could cache the results I suppose.
