I think the article does not mention that it also works for primitive types.
But there is a small problem with primitive properties:

Yes, I have never understood why built-in types are excluded from
expressions other than '.' expressions during parsing. After all,
semantic analysis must deal with them because they can occur through
aliases. It seems inconsistent and causes strange behaviour that is hard
to remember. (The fact that primitive types cannot be passed as alias
parameters smells in a similar way.)
