I feel the problem here is that you can access a type's static members
through an instance of it, not so much the property syntax.
One could argue that auto foo = TimeSpan.seconds = 30; looks weird, but
writing weird code is in no way dependent on property syntax.
Perhaps static being accessible from the instance is a problem, but you
can easily work around the problem by making the function's name
clearer by adding a verb. If you had:
auto foo = TimeSpan.createFromSeconds = 30;
it'd still look strange, sure, but the intent would still be pretty
clear. So in short functions that perform an action should have a verb.
