This works because it was declared:

void linnum(uint rhs) { _linnum = rhs; }

Right?

Almost. Given these definitions:

@safe @nogc pure @property
{
    const uint linnum() { return _linnum; }
    void linnum(uint rhs) { _linnum = rhs; }
}

This:

loc.linnum = loc.linnum + incrementLoc;

is rewritten as:

loc.linnum(loc.linnum() + incrementLoc);
