Partly just that it seems weird: the idea of a property whose value is lazily
allocated seems stranger to me than that of a getter whose result is lazily
allocated.

I'm a bit concerned about bindings' behaviour: are there bindings that eagerly
retrieve all properties in order to populate Python-or-whatever wrappers'
attributes? If there are, then they'll suffer from the TpConnection being
created unnecessarily.
