What's the story with -property?

[Mike via Digitalmars-d]

There's a regression involving `-property` at 
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14564.  In that issue, 
it's stated by a reputable source that `-property` is going away. 
  It was also stated in IRC that it never worked anyway.

So, what's the story on `-property`? Is it going away?  Is the 
regression worth investing time in?

There's also a DMD pull request that, unfortunately, was not 
followed through on: 
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/2305

Please advise.

Thanks,
Mike
