so how should the properties be displayed on an intellisence list?

class Hat
{
  private int _color;
  public int color();
  public void color(int newColor);
  public void f();
  public void f1();
}

hat.< what now? >
show "color","f","f1"?

how does the user know it's a property?

all overloaded methods with 0 or 1 argumens are properties?
how to differenciate from a method and a read only property?
how... I think I'm changing my mind again (from my the last post)

anyways for sure this will have a very low priority for leds.

Ant
http://dui.sourceforge.net
http://leds.sourceforge.net

I don't think there's really good solution to this without a language
construct to indicate its a property.
You'll always be guessing. I'd just show properties as methods unless such a
construct came along.

Out of curiosity, did you write an incremental D parser to do this?

that's what I'll do.

I did write a parser. I've no idea about the incremental thing :(
note that the parser is (almost) not interested on the body
of the functions, so it's relativelly simple.
