+So, basically, the problem is that there is no way to say `What is the
+base property of this property'. As such, we have 100% half-assed code
+to guess the answer to this question. Take a few tough examples:
+
+1) The one above, where the name is not get_xxx. We are not able to do
+a query on the methods.
+2)
+
+class A {
+   public virtual int Foo { get; set; }
+}
+
+class B : A {
+   public override int Foo { get; }
+   static void Main () {
+       new B ().Foo = 1;
+   }
+}
+
+The PropertyInfo for B does not contain the info on the set method, we
+have to look it up for the base class
+
+3)
+
+class A {
+   public virtual int Foo { get; set; }
+}
+
+class B : A {
+   private new int Foo { get; }
+}
+
+class C : B {
+   static void Main () {
+       new C ().Foo = 1;
+   }
+}
+
+The C Foo property can be set in this context. You have to make sure
+you are not tricked by the other one.
+
+In all of these cases, we have trouble getting the correct `get' and
+`set' method from the propertyinfo. We need a reliable method to do this.
