Properties look like variables. How do I distinguish properties from proper variables?

I think this will do it:

import std.traits;
bool isProperty = (functionAttributes!(S.P) & FunctionAttributes.property) ? true : false

The way that works in the implementation is checking the mangled name of the function. I wouldn't try anything else because any other difference between a property and a variable is arguably a bug since they are supposed to be mostly interchangable!

That's weird. Why would I call functionAttributes in something that I can't even identify as a function? That's almost self-defeating... but as long as functionAttributes will tolerate being called with basically any argument, function or otherwise, then I guess this is okay...
