Provide properties syntax for accessing Java getters/setters

Hello,

I’ve just started creating a DSL in Kotlin and noticed that to set a field of a Java object I had to call the setter method, like so:

  person.setName("helpermethod")

I think it would be cool if I could modify the field from Kotlin as if it were a property, like

person.name = "helpermethod"

I think this would allow to write even cleaner DSLs, e.g.

person {   name = "helpermethod" }

instead of

person {   setName("helpermethod") }
