Description Paul Smith CLA 2004-02-13 18:37:31 EST 
You already have a "Create Method" code assist feature which is extremely handy, 
but I would think that having a "Create Property" assist feature would be iceing 
on the cake.

e.g. if you type:

myObject.setSomeNewProperty("hello world");

It would be great if the code assist recognized this as a potential new property 
rather than just a method, and if selected, go and create the matching 
getter/setter and private field.

Gosh, this is something I wish I could do a lot, I can't be the only one can I?

Looks like regular templates to me. A first codeassist to find existing 
elements in code, then if nothing is found could infer something based on such 
rules.

Moving to UI for further consideration

might make sense to implements as quick fix. I mark it as dup of bug 41542, as I
would solve the two issues together (not exactly a dup, I know)
