Properties do not support read-modify-write operations. You can return a 
reference, or return a wrapper type to enable the operations you want.

D does not support any of the normally-expected property rewrites that 
many languages do.

For example: a.b.c = 5 where b is a property may not do what you expect.

It has been suggested in the past to have this behavior, but I doubt it 
will happen. It's possible to write such mechanisms as a library, but 
I've never seen someone do it.
