Isn't that creating multiple functions for the same thing?

<shamelessly copies Ali's example>
struct Fraction
{
    long numerator;
    long denominator;

    double value() const @property
    {
        return cast(double)numerator / denominator;
    }

    alias this = value;
}

as opposed to:

struct Fraction
{
    long numerator;
    long denominator;

    double value() const @property
    {
        return cast(double)numerator / denominator;
    }

    @pseudonym value;
   // in the year 2000...
    @pseudonym value, value2, value3;
}
