import std;

class Test
{
    float[3] _position = [0,0,0];
    float[3] position()
    {
        writeln("Get");
        return _position;
    }
    float[3] position(float[3] value)
    {
        writeln("Set");
        return _position = value;
    }
}

class STest : Test
{
    float[3] position;
}

void main()
{
    STest t = new STest;
    t.position = [1,2,3];
}

It basically ignores the old method to just use the new variable.

If I try:

t.position([1,2,3]);

I get the error: onlineapp.d(26): Error: function expected before (), not t.position of type float[3]

There's something really misleading

When you derive a type, and override a name, the old name is masked or hidden. You can alias the original name in, but I don't think it would work for overloading a field with a function.

That could trigger an error or at least a warning, just silently hiding that can lead to bugs
