So we can overload on @property-ness?
No.

I.e. this works

struct S
{
@property
float x() { return 1.0f; }
float x() { return 2.0f; }
}

void main()
{
   S  s;
   writefln("%s", s.x); // writes 1.0
   writefln("%s", s.x()); // writes 2.0
}
That just looks wrong.


Ok, so you can't have both dynamic properties and dynamic methods with
this.  One or the other, your pick.
Seems like an unfortunate limitation.

It's a limitation similar to not having a field and a method share the same name. It avoids a number of awkward questions such as figuring the meaning of &s.x.
