[Mono-dev] Is property?

[Greg Young]

Maybe explaining the use case a bit more is worthwhile. I am running
in the context of the profiling API. In many bits of code it is
prohibitively expensive (and not at all valuable) to look at
getters/setters. Even doing a hash lookup in them adds significant
overhead (think code that tends to use getters/setters for all field
access or code doing bunches of serialization).

I am looking for a way to fail fast on them, getting the name and
checking would be more expensive than the hash lookup.
