That's a good point. We need to solve another ambiguity about top-level
@property function which have a parameter, between top-level property
setter and UFCS property getter.

module abc;
@property int foo(int n);

void main() {
  foo = 1;  // top-level property setter
  1.foo;  // property getter with UFCS
}

We cannot distinguish the two usages without adding any new features.
