Here is the solution I propose:

A new special method, named "_property" must be implemented if you want to 
handle unknown properties.

This function takes no argument, and must return a boolean. The name of the 
unknown symbol is stored in Param.Name, and the function must return if the 
symbol is actually a property or not (i.e. a method).

If _property is not implemented, all unknown symbols are methods.
