That means there must be two overloads of f exactly:

f(T);
That's somewhat problematic since it won't allow chaining
assignments:
auto i = f = 3;
We need to either allow:
T f ();
T f (T);
Or implement some form of rewrite:
f = 3; // calls setter
auto i = f; // calls getter
This is the preferred solution.
Assignation is right associative, so it is equivalent to :
auto i = (f = 3);
The setter is called.
