For it to be a property, I think you should be able to simplify this example:

---
auto k = aa.byKey;
writeln(k.front);
k.popFront();
writeln(k.front);
---

to this:

---
writeln(k.byKey.front);
k.byKey.popFront();
writeln(k.byKey.front);
---

and get the same result. But my understanding is that you wouldn't, in which case byKey doesn't sense to me as a property. It creates and returns a new range object each time you call it, right?
