Dang I remembered wrong from what I read yesterday. C# turns it into
int get_Thing() { return _thing; }
void set_Thing(int value) { _thing = value; }
I don't recall anyone proposing exactly that for D. There was
prop_Thing, and there was getThing. So what C# uses is a mix of
those.
This has been proposed by Andrei at some point.
What's different in C# from the get/set_thing proposal (well, not 100%
sure but almost) is that the compiler doesn't infer the property from
the presence of a getter or setter with the right name, you must
explcitly tell it there's a property for a given name. I'd be
equivalent to:
int get_Thing();
void set_Thing(int);
property Thing (getter: get_Thing; setter: set_Thing);
where "property thing" reserves the symbol "thing" for a property with
the given getter/setter. (Turns out that this example is pretty much
how properties are defined in Objective-C.)
