I'm not sure it all is to blame on the whole property thing...

1) The text function in the "setter" call returned a value that was unused. I
think text in this case is a pure function, so that's a noop and potentially
could be an error for that reason.

2) In the second case, it calls text with zero arguments, which i don't think
ever makes sense. Perhaps we could change the signature to add an if(T.length)
constraint to text.



But yeah, the reason this is allowed at all is the loose property setter and
optional parens features rather than a compiler bug.
