I wrote that mapping the property names to having the first letter in
_uppercase_, they would not clash with the functions.
This works for Qt at least, which is consistent in this case, and would
allow co-existance.
(If it works for Henning...)

Though, I agree it's a bit hackish, but IMHO, it would be worth it to bring
Qt properties into Python.
