Example from datetime:

import std.datetime;
import std.stdio;
import std.conv;
void main()
{
    int a;
    void f0() {}
    void f1() {auto b = a;}
    void f2() {auto b = to!(string)(a);}
    auto r = benchmark!(f0, f1, f2)(10_000_000);
    writefln("Milliseconds to call fun[0] n times: %s", r[0].to!("msecs",
int));
}

2.060: test.d(12): Error: not a property r[cast(uint)0].to

If we want to preserve this syntax we have to make the `to` function a
property. Or we can change the code sample.. but I kind of like the way it's
written.
