When I have myarray.length, why isn't that considered an

It seems kinda dumb, I understand it cannot be changed
manually,
but surely you should be able to get a const(type)* from it?
I believe `length` is implemented as a property function,
though I can't
find the source for the life of me.
Then you still should be able to get a pointer of the result. I
was also considering it to be a @property function, as indeed
that'd explain this behaviour, but it still doesn't make sense to
not allow it. After all, length is just a variable.
