           Summary: Can't use property syntax with a template function

I'd like to call this a bug, but I can't find any place in the spec that states
this should work.  However it seems logical that it would work given that the
property magic is just syntactic sugar that treats foo=x as a regular function
call foo(x).  

---------------
int g_value;

void valuef(int v) {  g_value = v; }

void valuet(T)(T v) { g_value = v; }

void main()
{
    valuef = 42; // ok
    valuet = 42; // Error: valuet is not an lvalue
                 // Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (42) of type
int to void
}
