Could you give me a code example, Jostein?  I'm just interested in a
repro, because I can't reproduce it with the typescript-ts-mode.

I tried using this from [0]:
```
class Greeter {
  greeting: string;

  constructor(message: string) {
    this.greeting = message;
  }

  greet() {
    return "Hello, " + this.greeting;
  }
}
```

On my end I get no property-face, just function-name-face.  Both on
constructor and greet.  I'm not saying I disagree with you, but what am
I missing?
