Firstly, no feature is removed, it is changed, unless you 
consider calling completely property-unrelated functions with 
this syntax a feature. Secondly, it is an extreme example, more 
commonly occurring examples would be conflating property access 
with calling a member function with non-trivial complexity. With 
enforced @property, the compiler helps the user write the most 
readable code for himself and more importantly, others.
