Before the change, linnum and charnum are public variables, one 
can do a += on them. After the change, they become properties 
accessing, as the PR says, private variables:

     @safe @nogc pure @property
     {
         const uint linnum() { return _linnum; }
         const uint charnum() { return _charnum; }
         void linnum(uint rhs) { _linnum = rhs; }
         void charnum(uint rhs) { _charnum = rhs; }
     }

...with which the += won't work (at least this variant, as the 
getter isn't returning ref).
