 It seem no one is confident in their poll writing skills, so I'll take 
 stab at it.

 This poll is related to D not providing "true" properties. Details and 
 discussion can be found in DIP4: 
 http://prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?LanguageDevel/DIPs/DIP4

 Below you will find a list of options. Please place a maximum of three 
 votes starting with what you would prefer and then your alternatives. 
 Reasoning can come after your vote.

    1. Provide a special syntax/keyword to specify properties.
    2. Keep things as they are.
    3. Keep things as they are, resolving the += ... without involving new 
 property syntax.
    4. Remove current "property" syntax.
    5. Prevent . on rvalues

 Extended Voting

    A. #4 should happen with or without a new property syntax.
    B. Preventing . on rvalues should be done anyway.

 If I missed something, to bad, write your own poll. Please only respond if 
 you are voting or commenting on another's vote. This allows top level 
 posts to contain poll answers only.



 Ideal: Combine 1, 3, 4 and fix the problem with . on rvalues without doing 
 #5.
 Secondary: Anything in between "Ideal" and "Minimum That's Acceptable".
 Minimum That's Acceptable: Combine 3, 4 and  5.
 
 Joke: Let's make a poll on how a properties poll should be made ;)



I'm really not sure how 1 and 3 could be "combined," it would leave many of the
issues people want 1 to fix.

I'm really not sure how 3 and 4 could be combined. One says "go away," the
other "stay here."

Hi Jesse,

Your replies are not being correctly threaded in my Thunderbird, and it 
makes analyzing the poll difficult. What's going on?

 Hi Jesse,
 
 Your replies are not being correctly threaded in my Thunderbird, and it 
 makes analyzing the poll difficult. What's going on?



Sorry, I have no idea. Using the web interface? If this works I have a
hypothesis though.

When making multiple replies with the web interface, first leave the group for
another, then come back. But only if this is correctly threaded.
