Currently, when a template contains several functions, they are not 
implicit template properties and must be called as func!().func(...). If 
the proposed change was introduced, they would be required to be called 
as func!()(...). Example:

struct Foo { int foo; }

template foo() {
	Foo foo() { Foo r; return r; }
	Foo foo(int x) { Foo r; return r; }
}

void main() {
	auto x = foo!().foo;
	// with current behavior, typeof(x) == Foo,
	// with proposed behavior, typeof(x) == int.
}

I still think the change is worthwhile.
