I personally think the () should be required in both cases.  AISI a property
can be used in four ways:
- as an lvalue
- as an rvalue
- explicitly calling it with ( )
- taking the address of the getter/setter function

Using it by itself as an ExpressionStatement is none of these.

But it certainly seems wrong that an array property can't even be used as an
rvalue:
----------
int test(int[]) { return 0; }
void main()
{
    int[] a;
    int b;

    b = test(a);  // fine
    b = a.test(); // fine
    b = a.test;   // error!
}
