"The uniform access says that client code should not be affected by a decision to implement an attribute as a field or method." -- Programming in Scala The other is a term known as extension methods. "Extension methods enable you to "add" methods to existing types without creating a new derived type, recompiling, or otherwise modifying the original type." -- http:// msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb383977.aspx
This was talked about at the first D conference and the term used there was "uniform/unified function call syntax".
