One benefit of @property is that it allows the compiler to infer 
automatically.  So it behaves like auto but superior! For example:

```d
import std.stdio;

struct ReverseS(int size)
{
   private char[size] bytes;
   private int index = size - 1;

   @property empty() {
     return index < 0;
   }

   @property front() {
     return bytes[index];
   }

   @property popFront() {
     --index;
   }
}

void main()
{
   char[9] text = "ytreporp@".dup;

   foreach(c; ReverseS!9(text)) {
     c.write;
   }
   writeln; // @property
}
```
