 *
 * @warning For the ObjFW ABI, Clang only emits data for property introspection
 *	    if `@``synthesize` or `@``dynamic` has been used on the property,
 *	    not if the property has only been implemented by methods. Using
 *	    `@``synthesize` and manually implementing the methods works,
 *	    though.
 *
 * @warning For the Apple ABI, Clang and GCC both emit data for property
 *	    introspection for every property that has been declared using
 *	    `@``property`, even if no `@``synchronize` or `@``dynamic` has been
 *	    used.
 *
 * @warning GCC does not emit any data for property introspection for the GNU
 *	    ABI.
