It would be nice if properties had an internal variable to use instead
of having to declare it explicitly:


struct Foo
{
     @property int data() { return data.value; } // read property
     @property int data(int value) { return data.value; } // write property
}

This reduces code complexity. If a property does not use the internal
variable(which I signify by .value) then it does not add any storage.
This allows one to easily wrap fields into properties without having to
create private fields for each property unless needed.

struct S{
    T value;
}

struct T{
    S get(){ return S(this); }
    alias get this;
}

struct Foo{
    @property S data(){ return data.value; }
}
