Actually, that's an important point for D as well.

I would have a considerably less problem with UFCS had it been limited 
only to explicit declaration.

So:
void func( ref A a, int b ) ...

A a;
a.func(12); // Should not compile IMHO

but:
@property void func( ref A a, int b ) ...

should work. Same goes for dropping the () to zero arguments function 
calls. Once that needs to be a conscious decision by the programmer, my 
problems with UFCS are greatly reduced (though, to be fair, not 
completely alleviated).
