I'm looking at https://tour.dlang.org/tour/en/gems/range-algorithms
(IMO the example code is far too long and complicated.)
But here's the thing:

    auto wordCharCounts = words // I added this and it works fine
        .map!"a.length";
    writeln(wordCharCounts);

    auto wordCharCounts2 = words // I added this and it works fine
        .map!(a => a.length);
    writeln(wordCharCounts2);

    auto wordCharCounts3 = words // this is in the tutorial
      .map!"a.count";
    writeln(wordCharCounts3);

auto wordCharCounts4 = words // I added this and it won't compile .map!(a => a.count); // Error: no property count for type string
    writeln(wordCharCounts4);

I don't understand why both syntaxes work for .length but only the string form for .count?
