Right, any no-arg function can be called without parentheses, and 
single-arg functions can be called as 'func = foo'. At this 
point, I don't think think @property is ever going to be fixed to 
work as originally intended (and digging through the newsgroups 
will turn up several discussions on why, if you're interested). I 
don't bother with it anymore myself. DUB used to compile with it 
enabled by default, but no longer.
