I plan to test that as quickly as I time permits. If we can make both 
behaviours work, that would obviously be the best.

I honestly think this is reasonably clear.

"Properties" with getters and setters are at this point in time almost 
entirely unused in EcmaScript/TypeScript space. They are optional and 
have complicated syntax, and don't play well with JSON serialization 
(and thus can't be used in REST APIs).

You however cannot write a program without defining or invoking 
methods/functions. So not having method-fontification working correctly 
will literally impact **all** TypeScript-users.
