One problem that I see with pragmas is that a compile method cannot  
be annotated without recompiling it. Which would be quite hampering  
on....

Having setProperty:toValue: / valueOfProperty: would make things  
simpler. The compiler would not have to be modified.

On some point, instead of manipulating pragmas, such might be useful:
Object>>forCurrentMethodSetProperty: name toValue: val
     thisContext method setProperty: name  toValue: val
