There's a regression involving `-property` at
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14564. In that issue,
it's stated by a reputable source that `-property` is going
away.
It was also stated in IRC that it never worked anyway.
So, what's the story on `-property`? Is it going away? Is the
regression worth investing time in?
There's also a DMD pull request that, unfortunately, was not
followed through on:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/2305
Please advise.
Thanks,

Definition of property is completely inconsistent. Definition of
property with -property is also inconsistent. No desire to get
toward a more consistent position from leadership.
Having 2 definition for the thing is bad for the language as it
create fragmentation. If I'd had to choose I'd keep the -property
behavior, but it seems like a lost battle at this point :(
