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?

Sorry, I meant this for the second example:

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