As I've said before, we really need to decide whether @property has loose or strict semantics. Loose semantics means that non-@property functions would still be callable without (), etc but @property functions wouldn't be allowed to have ()s. Frankly, I hate @property, want to to have as little effect as possible, like the flexibility of being able to call the same function both ways, and would have a lot of code break if this were taken away, so my vote is loose semantics.<br>

</div>Indeed. I think I have a fix for that in the "@property" branch of my DMD fork on github. Perhaps I should make a pull request from that.<br>
<br>
Actually, I could make a pull request for the entire "@property" branch, it shouldn't impact things much as enforcement of @property is only done if you add the command line switch -property. Would that make sense?<br>
