And yes, I already pointed out that would make it a no-argument function.
And that's precisely my point. If we accept that it's bad to paint a car
via its "@property" wheel, then how can we possibly accept this to not be
just as bad?:
auto car = new Car();
auto wheel = car.getWheel_ThisIsAFunctionNotAProperty();
wheel.paintTheCar();
Because a function doesn't attempt to emulate a field.
D's approach to properties *forces* functions to emulate fields.
Unfortunately not. It forces nothing. That's my problem with the feature
- it's nothing more than fostering a convention.
