"Properties have many uses: they can validate data before 
allowing a change; they can transparently expose data on a class 
where that data is actually retrieved from some other source, 
such as a database; they can take an action when data is changed, 
such as raising an event, or changing the value of other fields."

I think that having *clear* properties in D is worthing.
