I would like to see a poll that is more specific, eg. do developers want "property literals."

Because that's what i want, eg. so i can bind components to properties eg. in a Presentation Model, in a safe IDE-assisted way, eg. enjoying autocompletion, verification and refactorability.

Using strings to refer to properties (by their property name) is clearly fragile eg. to renaming properties, and the IDE can't assist because it's just a string.
