Usually I'd agree but this is a case of a wart we should just
remove IMO. The fix for breaking cases is simple, add

meh, I sometimes use it, but if overloading on @property works,
that's easy enough to allow both ways.
I use it in some big chaining things:
Element.make("div").className("foo").value = "bar";
vs
auto element = Element.make("div");
element.className = "foo";
element.value = "bar";
Using one or the other depending on if I have a variable name
there anyway. This would be arguably *better* with separation,
but I don't have the level of hatred for one function used both
ways (on setter nor getter) the way a lot of people do.
