Add macros to support C++ Properties (like on C#)

@halx99 what are you mean?

No idea.

Adding something like this would cause a lot more problems than it solves. It would also make debugging harder, as macros always do.

It's been done before in Cocos2d-x, and eventually their usage was removed. Just look at CCPlatformMacros.h, with an example being CC_PROPERTY:

#define CC_PROPERTY(varType, varName, funName) \
protected:                                     \
    varType varName;                           \
                                               \
public:                                        \
    virtual varType get##funName() const;      \
    virtual void set##funName(varType var);

If you search for CC_PROPERTY in the platform, you won't find any usage of it.

Please don't complicate the engine code by using macros like that.

A good point. Thanks.
