I know I can combine it by making an extra variable plus a property like this:

class Foo
{
  private int a_;

  void do_something1()
  {
    a_ = baa();
  }

  void do_something2()
  {
    if(cond) a_ = baa2();
  }

  @property int a()
  {
      return a;
   }
}

This is the C#'s to do which I'm translated to D within my limited knowledge. I don't do much OOP, maybe it's possible and I don't know. I'm using @property to make 'a' accessible and readonly at same time but I wanted to do that without this a_ extra variable, i.e, only the methods within the Foo class can assign a new value to a but a instance of Foo can't. An imaginary code example:

class Foo
{
  public MAGIC_HERE int a;

  void do_something1()
  {
    a = baa();
  }

  void do_something2()
  {
    if(cond) a = baa2();
  }
}


And then:

Foo f = new Foo();
writeln(f.a); // output value of a
f.a = 10; // compile error: a is readonly outside Foo's methods.

I hope it's clear (sorry for por English)
