digitalmars.D - diff between properties without or with property ?

Hello, what's the difference between a property declared  without 
a  property block and another one with? It seems that both forms 
are possible:

---
void Prop1(int AValue);
int Prop1();

or

 property
{
     void Prop1(int AValue);
     int Prop1();
}

Does it has something to do with the RTTI/serialization such as 
the "published" keyword in Pascal ? I cant find any clue in the 
manual.

Difference appears when "-property" compiler switch is used, only 
second sample can be used with property syntax then. But this 
most likely change as there have been very intensive discussions 
on topic of property re-design recently.
