In the title: Because "typeof" is a keyword,it does not have the same semantics
as the other properties (http://dlang.org/property.html), such as stringof,
sizeof etc..

For example:
--------
void main()
{
    int a;
    writeln(int.stringof);
    writeln(a.typeof.stringof); //This
    writeln(typeof(a).stringof);
}
--------
The syntax "a.typeof.stringof" should be made to work.

UFCS should not have a different behavior because typeof is a keyword.
