Why is D thinking that ~= is being applied to get, the
function, rather than what it returns?
Also
When I converted a field in to a property, an AA, it is
returning null rather than being initialized by default. Seems
like properties are broke. I'd expect a property getter to
behave, for all intents and purposes as if it were field. I
shouldn't have to have a temp variable to be able to use it as
such.

I came across a few posts mentioning this after the fact. It's
been this way since at least 2012 so... It's now may so not sure
how much longer we'll have to wait. That pull seems to have
stalled. So close but so far away ;/
