           Summary: Error message for mismatch of const/non-const property
                    functions needs to improve

struct Foo
{
    int payload;

    @property void value(int x) { payload = x;}
    @property int value() { return payload; }

    const bool opEquals(ref const(Foo) other)
    {
        return this.value == other.value;
    }        
}

void main() { }

This errors with: 
Error: function test.Foo.value (int x) is not callable using argument types ()
The solution is to add a const property function like this one:

@property const(int) value() const { return payload; }

But this can't be easily figured out from that error message.
