I would have to double check what the actual
conversion code does but it uses the compiler
to walk the objects.  Yes, I believe they would
have to exist in the __dict__.

Creating a small example with a property it does
not convert.  So no, a property used to access a
signal would not be supported.  I can't think of
a use-case where you would.  In a MyHDL generator
you need access to the signal.

Interface properties would be useful in elaboration
code but not in the generators/processes.
