           Summary: Array extension methods require parentheses
           Product: D
           Version: 2.032
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: nobody puremagic.com
        ReportedBy: johnch_atms hotmail.com


Free functions can be used as methods of an array if the first argument in the
function definition is an array. For example:

  int indexOf(T)(T[] array, T value) {...}

  int[] ints = getInts();
  int i = ints.indexOf(2);

However, when the array argument is called without parameters, the expression
fails to compile, as this example shows.

  string[] split(string s, string sep) { ... }

  class Person {

    string name_;

    string name() { return name_; }

  }

  auto person = getPerson();
  string[] firstAndLast = person.name.split(" ");

The above line will only compile if it is changed to:

  string[] firstAndList = person.name().split(" ");

Oops, I meant to say: However, when the array argument is called without
parentheses, the expression fails to compile...

One should possibly add  property for such function, so it will be possible tu
use such function not only as method but also as getter. Unfortunetly it isn't
yet implemented.
