I has to use b.a()("a")("b") to avoid the compiler error. I
think it should work to avoid the unnecessary ()
Should I submit a bugs ?
As written on
https://dlang.org/spec/function.html#property-functions:
WARNING: The definition and usefulness of property functions is
being reviewed, and the implementation is currently incomplete.
Using property functions is not recommended until the
definition is more certain and implementation more mature.
So no, I don't think it's necessary to file a bug - we're aware
they're somewhat wonky, and until a resolution has been agreed
on, I don't think filing bugs on what's undecided behavior is
worth it.
