I think it should be great if we can register get & set methods for property access as in js 1.5:
engine->RegisterObjectProperty( "object", "int prop", asFUNCTION(object_get), asFUNCTION(object_set), asCALL_GENERIC );
I know. :)
Excerpt from my to-do list:

Requires: Removing parameter references
This will allow the application to register a couple of functions to manipulate properties. An example that shows the usefulness of this is: Say you've registered HWND as a type, and you want to let the script change the title of the window. You can either register the Set/GetWindowText() as methods which will be explicitly called, or you can register a get/set property called text, which the script can access just like any other object property.
I need to investigate the complications of this. What happens for example if a property is passed by reference to a function that is supposed to update it? Since the get/set property isn't a real reference this has to be checked for.
