You might be wondering: what's the point of that over just having 
a "Property prop;"?

The one thing I tend to want this for is some kind of dynamic 
type, where I use opDispatch to return a helper object from an AA:

ref Property opDispatch(string name)() @autocall {
    return this.properties[name];
}

Which might also have extra code to insert it into the AA, or 
throw, etc. if needed. I don't think there's any way to do that 
without a function of some sort.
