I don't have a problem with exceptions you raise. I have a problem
when exception
is not raised. User wrote MyClass.named, when he meant MyClass.name and
MyClass has named variable.

Almost same example, different view:
class X{
string name;
};

User can not use X.name syntax, because name is the property of every
declaration.

So he is forced to switch to alternative syntax: X["name"].

I don't like this.
