I think this is necessary feature for the D's function and property
semantics.

Why?

Because, "property" is one of D-specific feature.

In D, "property" is directly translated to function call. So, we should get balance between two requirements:

1. property should be treated as its returned type.

2. property should be distinguished from raw field. (For example, serialization library should recognize it)

Address expression is _only_one_ built-in feature to make a callable object from function symbol. So

this "special feature" is enough reasonable to me.
