cat > bug.d << CODE
string toStr(immutable(char)* p)
{
    return null;
}

void main()
{
    immutable(char)* p = "foobar".ptr;
    p.toStr();
}
CODE

dmd -c bug
Error: no property 'toStr' for type 'immutable(char)'
----

Property resolution is only attempted on the dereferenced value.

IIUC we'd need to do 4 lookups.

- intrinsic properties
- properties of dereferenced value
- ufcs of value
- ufcs of dereferenced value (bug 8213)
