D's hidden function calls getting crazier.

It's impossible to tell if reading or writing an object's
variable would call a function because of UFCS or @property. it
just hurts because you can't know if it's a function call without
looking at implementation.
The most basic example is
```
obj.val = 1; // actually calls obj.setVal(1)
assert(obj.val == 1); // actually calls obj.getVal(), assertion
may fail if getVal or setVal is not implemented correctly. Which
is unexpected
```
To fix this hidden function craziness, UFCS needs to require
parantheses, and property function needs to be removed entirely.
