Thinking about it why should that matter when not compiled using
-property?  I'm guessing the template enforces it should be a
property?

The problem is that this test is used in isForwardRange:

        static assert (is(typeof(r1.save) == R));

where R is the type of the range. So if .save is not @property, then typeof(r1.save) would be a function pointer, rather than the type of the
function's return value, and so the test will fail.

But wouldn't an & be needed to get a function pointer?
