Jacob Carlborg:
It would break tons of code.
How much work does it take to change that makes and compilation scripts to compile that code using a "-noproperty" switch?
I think this silly fear of breaking user code was one of the main causes of the failure of @property in the first place. If you introduce a new feature, then you need to introduce it cleanly since the beginning, otherwise you will make a mess. So future D feature must be introduced in a much more clean way in future, or not introduced at all.
