@function seems like an extra complication. Ambiguity between setter and getter for @properties when UFCS come into play are not solved. Functional style is impaired as you can't pass regular function around, just @function . You'll still find trap in generic code around the behavior of regular functions.

That's a good point. We need to solve another ambiguity about top-level @property function which have a parameter, between top-level property setter and UFCS property getter.

module abc;

@property int foo(int n);

void main() {

foo = 1; // top-level property setter

1.foo; // property getter with UFCS

}

We cannot distinguish the two usages without adding any new features.
