According to
   <http://www.digitalmars.com/d/class.html>
(example class Abc, about 60 lines down from top)
the following code should be legal, but it doesn't compile:

// setget.d
class Test {
  int x;
}

class Test2 {
  int xx;
  void x(int x) { xx=x; } // set'er
  int x() { return xx; }  // get'er
}

int main(char [][] args) {
  int i;

  Test t=new Test;
  t.x=5;
  i=t.x;

  Test2 t2=new Test2;
  t2.x=5; // setget.d(19): cannot implicitly convert int to void(int x)
  i=t2.x; // setget.d(20): cannot implicitly convert void delegate(int x) to int

  return 0;
}
//end of setget.d

Why?

If you'll take a look at http://www.digitalmars.com/d/alpha.html you'll notice at the bottom it states:

Property gettor/settor not implemented.
