In c#, I can do this:

public int Foo { get; set; }

Which is nice. But as soon as I want to do anything in the getter or setter, I have to chang

With automatic properties, the compiler generates a backing field for you. A custom getter/setter requires that you manually create a backing field to work with. The ability to specify a custom getter/setter on an automatic property would essentially make it act just like a method, since there's nothing to get or set.
