It's when the object being returned by a property overloads opCall.  The 
prime example I know is tango's Stdout.newline():

Stdout("hello").newline()("world").newline;

If you don't include the extra (), then the compiler thinks you're calling 
newline("world");

This is one case where the nature of D properties is exploited in a way that 
would be unnatural with explicit properties.  newline is clearly not a 
property, but using it in this way is pretty clear (and convenient).
