Optional function invocation parentheses

[Will Rubin]

Just a _write_ property:

struct Bleem {
   int _value;
public:
   //@property int value() { return _value; }
   @property int value(int newValue) { return _value = newValue; }
}

void main() {
   auto bleem = Bleem();
   writeln("Result: ", bleem.value = 9);
}

Application Output
Result: 9

Off the top of my head (C#, Delphi, Python) have them return 
void. Maybe it's not so uncommon though.
