D - Any modern language should include PROPERTIES

I was giving the WinD samples a quick look and it seems that the new 

makes it so that one would type:
	window.top(10);
to set the top of the window to 10 instead of the more intuitive
	window.top = 10;

It would be very convenient if D would feature properties like Delphi 
does.  Is there a compelling reason not to have them?

It does. It's just not implemented yet. Properties are defined
by a pair of functions with the same name:

    class Control
    {
        void top(int n) { ... }
        int top() { ... }
    }

Now you can write:

    Control ctl;
    ctl.top = 10;
    printf("%d", ctl.top);

I am impressed.  The D language is looking very robust, indeed.  The 
inclusion of properties is a wise decision.  Not many people stay online 
at 1AM PST just to respond to my ranting on.  LOL.  Thank you for 
correcting me.
