I'm starting to think that perhaps @property should be disposed of
completely. Just unify properties with nullary functions and be done
with it. There is no semantic difference between them anyway. (Didn't D1
used to do that?)

Compiling with -property also makes *compile-time* unary functions look
ridiculous:

	int ctfeFunc(int arg)() { return dotDotDotMagic(arg); }
	void main() {
		//int x = ctfeFunc!(123);	// doesn't work with -property!
		int x = ctfeFunc!(123)();	// looks ridiculous
	}
