You can evaluate these explicitly with the watch "obj.D()", but it is
not known to the debugger whether the function has side-effects. That
makes it a bit dangerous to execute it when hovering or in the locals list.

"@property" isn't found in the debug info or in the mangling, but maybe
a "pure const" method could be executed as that info is theoretically
available. See also https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16692
