Because, "property" is one of D-specific feature.

In D, "property" is directly translated to function call. So, we should get
balance between two requirements:
1. property should be treated as its returned type.
2. property should be distinguished from raw field. (For example,
serialization library should recognize it)

Address expression is _only_one_ built-in feature to make a callable object
from function symbol. So
this "special feature" is enough reasonable to me.
