The current state of @property is that it doesn't really do anything. D allows you to call functions without parentheses, and to use assignment syntax to call a single-argument function, so you can write getters and setters that work like properties even if you don't use the @property annotation:

struct Example
{
    private int x_;
    int x() { return x; } // getter
    void x(int n) { x = n; } // setter
}

void main()
{
    Example e;
    e.x = 123; // calls setter
    int y = e.x; // calls getter
}

@Paul Backus, Thanks for the explanation & code sample.
