Make dur a property?

[Tommi]

I've always secretly hated the ambiguity in D's syntax. E.g:

foo.bar

What could foo and bar be? D has many more answers than C++:

                     D           C++
                     foo bar     foo bar
Module/Namespace    x   x
Type                x   x
Variable            x   x       x   x
Method                  x
Free function       x   x

For this reason I initially agreed with Nick Sabalausky on 
disallowing calling non-property functions without parenthesis.

...but now I'm thinking that this ambiguity stops being an issue 
once we have an IDE that can render different things in different 
colors (or different fonts or with other visual cues if you're 
color-blind). Color is a much stronger and faster visual cue than 
having parenthesis at the end of a name. For this reason, I think 
that it's fine to allow non-property functions to be called 
without parenthesis. But I still think that property functions 
should not be allowed to be called with parenthesis.
