Description
Originally reported by @ilevkivskyi in https://github.com/python/mypy/issues/220#issuecomment-445773320:
Another thing that doesn't work came in #6045: accessing attributes of a property object in the class body (for example fset, fget etc). This can be probably partially solved by some special casing in checkmember.py.
