I see from this other discussions that it looks like 2.059 ( or
maybe 2.060) does support something like 3.cm(). Not sure from
the discussion if it would also accept 3.cm as in the xtext/xtend
example.

UFCS (universal function call syntax) was added in 2.059. If cm is a function,
then 3.cm() will work. If it's a property function, then 3.cm will work. If
you don't compile with -property, then 3.cm will still work with cm being a
non-property function, but -property will become the normal behavior
eventually, so you shouldn't expect that 3.cm will work long term unless cm is
a property function.
I expect it to stay.
Another reason why @property-'enforcement' is flawed:
@property auto cm(int arg){ .. }
cm=2; // ok
2.cm; // ok
The two code snippets would in fact be equivalent.
What is enforced here? Why would it matter if anything is 'enforced'?
