to makes no sense as a property. It's a conversion function, not an abstraction
for a variable. If anything, the example needs to be changed.

Now, there's a decent chance that with what a lot of people think about UFCS
and templated functions that using to without the parens for the function call
won't be necessary long term, but if it's a property, then it'll likely be
required to not have the parens long term, and given that to is a conversion
function, I really don't think that makes sense. If you want a property, then
use one of the property functions which wrap to (msecs, seconds, etc.).

I think that I'll just create a commit which changes the example to use the
property function instead of to, since that's cleaner anyway.
