Yes, the syntax is legit. It's the semantic that "scares" me.
IMHO it feels strange that assigning a variable resizes a
array. Something like a.resize(10) would make me feel better.
Ye, it was one of the first "Erm wtf?" moments when I started
to learn D. And living confirmation that core developers don't
really have a strong vision what properties should be.
I can view *reading* size as a property, but I don't think the
setter itself should be a property, since it actually *does*
something. Heck, it can throw an exception (!)
However, I really think we are way past the point we can change
array's interface. I'd just leave it be.
