  42 /* This tree is used to represent the expression 'object.property',
  43    where 'object' is an Objective-C object and 'property' is an
  44    Objective-C property.  Operand 0 is the object (the tree
  45    representing the expression), and Operand 1 is the property (the
  46    PROPERTY_DECL).  Operand 2 is the 'getter' call, ready to be used;
  47    we pregenerate it because it is hard to generate it properly later
  48    on.  Operand 3 records whether using the 'getter' call should
  49    generate a deprecation warning or not.
  50
  51    A PROPERTY_REF tree needs to be transformed into 'setter' and
  52    'getter' calls at some point; at the moment this happens in two
  53    places:
  54
  55      * if we detect that a modify expression is being applied to a
  56        PROPERTY_REF, then we transform that into a 'getter' call (this
  57        happens in build_modify_expr() or cp_build_modify_expr()).
  58
  59     * else, it will remain as a PROPERTY_REF until we get to
  60       gimplification; at that point, we convert each PROPERTY_REF into
  61       a 'getter' call during ObjC/ObjC++ gimplify.  At that point, it
  62       is quite hard to build a 'getter' call, but we have already built
  63       it and we just need to swap Operand 2 in, and emit the deprecation
  64       warnings from Operand 3 if needed.
  65
  66   Please note that when the Objective-C 2.0 "dot-syntax" 'object.component'
  67   is encountered, where 'component' is not a property but there are valid
  68   setter/getter methods for it, an artificial PROPERTY_DECL is generated
  69   and used in the PROPERTY_REF.  */
