The following code fails to compile:

class A
{
    T foo (this T) ()
    {
        return new T;
    }
}

class B : A { }

void main ()
{
    auto b = new B;
    B b2 = b.foo;
}

With the error message:
main.d(16): Error: b.foo(this T) has no value

This code works:

auto b2 = b.foo; // using auto
B b2 = b.foo(); // using parentheses
