THAT is a problem!  Because what if you  want to implement some interface
that requires a property a but like to extend a class that already defined
(for internal uses, that you cant change, because its precompiled or closed
source) this variable?

Why don't you implement a more detailed output ... that contains
informations about if the variable is setable/getable ... ?
