I had a better proposal: http://forum.dlang.org/thread/rftboygivwmwizeyw...@forum.dlang.org optional parens everywhere except last position of function chain.
This makes it visually unambiguous what is a function vs function call and avoids all but last parens, makes @property/(-property) obsolete, and makes &foo operator un-necessary. snippet: When a,b,c are non-property functions: a.b.c(); => a().b().c(); // c is called a.b.c; // c function not called What do you guys think?
