I noticed many developers really adore properties, perhaps it's worth
some attention to rethink how this is handled in D. It is used

This is exactly where I'm coming from. I used to use C# properties a
lot. They are super effective.
With no intention to flame, but I never quite understood why people are
so keen on properties over getter/setter member functions. What
advantage does it have over obscuring direct member access and indirect
member access?
I think that the D approach is good enough, since it does not add
complexity for library designers.
