What about functions not marked with @property?

All of that looks pretty terrible too, from the awful names, the
broken indentation, the useless comment, and of course, the +
operator being overloaded to mean multiplication too.
But that's no reason to for the compiler to reject operator
overloading, comments, or long variable names, because these
things are useful, when not abused by a deranged lunatic.
Simlarly, writeln = 10 might not look very nice, but className =
"foo" does.... and it is the same feature, used in real world D
code now (that would break if we changed it).
