As mentioned, this seems dangerous. I'd suggest requiring when there is
ambiguity. It still has generic problems, but it will never be silent.
4. No more @property.
I'm on the side that would miss optional parens if they died. In would
be nice if @property actually made a function behave like a field.
foo += bar;
It seems there are lots of complications around this? So yes kill
@property.
This has nothing to do with @property. It has to do with defining what
+= /does/ to a property.
I think that what you want is semantic property rewriting.
See this:

On another note,
To properly correct this situation we will break code. So before you get
started be sure to try out the new feature preview release approach :)
