If you watched the presentation by Anders Hejlsberg which was posted here
recently, they have different methods to implement for methods and property
look up for their dynamic type system. I would not want to have them mixed.
Maybe something like opProperty?

I would expect that in the future you must annotate your opDispatch with  
 property to get the correct behavior.

If at that point, C's opDispatch doesn't work like a property, I would  
report a bug.  The property behavior is very much in flux right now.  But  
I wouldn't expect IFTI to work on a property syntax like that unless the  
function is actually labeled with  property.
