Yes, it was a horrible design error but it didn't break any
code because the -property flag is optional.
Design error was to not force "-property" since the very
beginning. Now good decisions are kind of doomed to break code
because restrictions were (and still are) too lax and a lot of
inconsistent code is somewhere out there.
This is exactly why I voted for LTS + rolling-release model. D is
still far from the point where design specs can be frozen and
breaking code prohibited. Those still have mistakes.
