In this tutorial, save is not a property. I see a lot of code where it is.

I do think that save shouldn't be a property, but it would be very interesting if a clear guideline was written on that point.

If We put that remark aside, this is a great tutorial ! This is exactly the type of docuement we need to promote D and help newcomers. If we succed in getting more of this, we probably would be able to conquier the world soon.

No guide needed. It must be a property, or it won't compile with -property. The fact that properties haven't been being enforced is what's making it so that people are mistakenly not making save a property. As soon as -property becomes the normal compiler behavior, anything that has save as a function rather than a property won't compile.

So this tutorial has to be corrected.
