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?
No one can answer that.
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.
I agree with you but Walter is very afraid of breaking code.
