And how often do you think you'll find yourself in the situation of

__traits(propertyGetter, ...) for the rare cases where you really need
to get hold of the underlying function?

I like this solution; it follows the Principle of Least Surprise
quite well. The syntax may be a bit longer, but it's immediately
obvious even to a beginning/intermediate D user what's going on
without having to worry about too many nuances.
This is a good point, and __traits make all possible syntactic confusion
go away.
