General rule I follow (don't know if this is common): use
`struct` unless you are using pointers a lot: that's a sign you
need classes.
* what's the standard signature for opEquals ()

IDK
* to use or not to use @property
@property is semantically a fake field. Thus, use it to get an
attribute that doesn't have side effects (except for setters) and
runs in constant time.
etc..
I understand it's on a case by case but I would hope there are
certain rules one can follow in 99% cases.
