`&t.j` should and does. With `= 10`, it's definitely a call, just like
`&t.x()`.
It would be nice to get this behavior fixed, so that it doesn't become
set in stone.
Unfortunately, it already kinda is. Just flipping the switch would break
circa all D code in existence. That's deemed unacceptable by the
leadership, as far as I know.
If this can even be fixed, it must be done very carefully. The -property
compiler switch is currently being deprecated. Maybe it can be
repurposed later on to change behavior to your liking. But that's at
least a couple releases in the future, i.e. months, maybe years.
