Setter method called

Getter method called

- **@property**: for the caller name becomes an attribute (not a method any more)

- no more use of parentheses when calling a getter: `a = snowy.name` instead of `a = snowy.name()`

- the hidden getter still can return a deep copy or converted attribute (bytearray instead of byte, list instead of set, ...)

- **@name.setter**: for the caller name can set by `=`

- no more use of parentheses when calling a setter: `snowy.name = "Snowy"` instead of `snow.name("Snowy")`

- the hidden setter still can use type checks or throw errors or do conversions
