We cannot distinguish the two usages without adding any new
features.

"1.foo" must be compile error here. Makes as much sense as
int a;
void main() {
1.a;
}
Property must behave exactly like data or it is not a property.
I don't see 1.foo the way you see it. I see it like this:
@property bool is_zero(X value)
{
return value == 0;
}
void main()
{
X value;
value.is_zero;
}
It's just that X happens to be a built-in type, instead of a
user-defined type. But I don't see why should that matter.
