There _is_ reason.
You may, possibly, argue this reason is not important enough -
here you might be right or wrong, I don't know.
The point is a @property should behave as close as possible to a
real variable:
class A {
int field;
}
auto a = new A();
auto x = a.field = 3;
Now you 'upgrade' 'field' to a @property
class A {
int _field;
@property ??? field(int val) {
_field = val;
}
}
auto a = new A();
auto x = a.field = 3;
The above line should behave _identically_ to the previous case.
Will it, if you define "@property char field(int val)" ?
Apparently no.
