 Also related (similar types) it should mention those that need down-casting,
or something more useful.

  struct S {
//setters
void test(uint v) @property {}
void test2(ulong v) @property {}
  }

  ulong x;
  S s;

  s.test2 = x;
  s.test = x;  //Error: not a property s.test

I'd add also the following:

struct A
{
@property void foo(uint x);
}

void main()
{
A a;
a.foo = "bar"; // (1)
}


(1) causes "Error: not a property a.foo", which may look obvious here, but gets
confusing with more complex types.
