This is just another example of the property sugar being subpar. With
real properties, this would not happen. However, as it is,
"actor.world.foo!(int)()" parses as an attempt to access "foo!(int)()"
from the _method_ designated by "actor.world", _not_ from the return
value of actor.world().
I think (in this particular case) it's only about a compiler bug.
