As the title says it'd be great if we static_assert that the return of inputs_ and results_ of a user's property type are the correct type.

Research direction
Start by locating the property-type implementation and the handling of users' inputs_ and results_ functions. Trace how their return types are currently used, then determine where a static assertion would provide the intended diagnostic. Done means incorrect return types produce a clear compile-time error; no files or tests are named in the issue.
