Well, there is also opDot:

struct A(T) {
   private T x;

   T opDot() {
     return x;
   }
}

void main(){
   auto a = A!int;
   a++; //should do a.x++;
   static assert(!__traits(compiles, a.x)); // This now holds!
}

However, now A!int is not an int (you can't pass it to functions taking  
int).
