Stop using type inference.  ;)

int x = abc.foo;

When you write "abc.foo" as the initializer for a type-inferenced 
declaration, it tries to deduce the type of the declaration before 
converting the property access to a function call.  Thus, it thinks you're 
trying to create a variable x with the same type as abc.foo; i.e. a function 
type (not a function pointer, just a function), which is illegal.  This 
might be a bug, but it's been around for a while, and not just since 0.163.
