FWIW, I went with
inline bool true_ { return true; }
inline bool false_ { return false; }
which allows
is_enabled = true_;
I don't like the word "property", or the property-based style of
programming, in general. :-)
As a side benefit, false_ comes in handy for on_click, too (which is a
function<void()>).
One other observation: keeping a function<> always initialized with the
appropriate default (a variation of the Null Object pattern) leads to much
cleaner code.
