No, it's the other way around - parens are accepted now, but shouldn't be.
The whole point of properties is to behave as fields.
import std.stdio;
struct S {
@property int x() { return 42; }
}
void main() {
S s;
auto p1 = &s.x; writeln(p1);
auto p2 = s.x; writeln(p2);
}

Do you really consider '&' to be "a lot of code"?
D is not as compact as it could be, but '&' is not part of that problem. It is
necessary to disambiguate and makes the code more readable by being explicit.
