It is not faith, it is the abstraction that is presented to you.
Presenting abstraction is one of the most important task when
doing programming. As I explained already, the compiler does teh

That is why having .length of array as a property that
reallocates is so

You can't really argue that phobos is crowded with @property for

Everything has been made a property even when it doesn't make any
sense.
