Well, strict enforcement is how @property was designed in the first place (and is how it's described in TDPL).
That doesn't affect my argument at all, People actually use the implementation as it is, which is a superset of the TDPL definition. Enforcing that definition breaks code and, if anything, adds only minor maintenance benefits. It'd be easier to strike the word "must" from future printings of the book than to fix all D code everywhere.
