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?
Yah, this is the lvalue vs. rvalue part. I think you are making a good
argument.
