I have an update on this issue. We (BoostPro) have received the official
go-ahead from our client to make and submit a patch for our
__declspec(property(...)) work. The git guru who is putting these
patches together for us is currently on vacation, so it'll be a few
weeks before we can actually submit the patch. And it's a large patch
that is likely to need a few iterations to be acceptable to the clang
team. But rest assured that this is a priority for us.

FYI, we have the whole thing working now. Parsing, AST (including
transformation and serialization), code gen, CFG, the works.
