UFCS kills off a good part of those arguments, but point still stands.

```D
struct Point {
	private int[2] d;

	this(int x, int y) {
		d[0] = x;
		d[1] = y;
	}
	
	@property {
		ref int x() { return d[0]; }
		ref int y() { return d[1]; }
	}
}

void main() {
	Point p = Point(1, 3);
	p.y = 2;
}
```


Hehe ;)
