Regarding slides 9 through 11 of WalterAndrei.pdf (Uniform Function Call 
      Syntax) would we be allowed to add properties to a class? For example:

void foo(Matrix m, char[] value)
{
	// ...
}
char[] foo(Matrix m)
{
	// ...
}

m.foo = "parrot";
writefln("It's a dead %s.", m.foo);	//-> It's a dead parrot.


Now on pages 45 - 51 on AST Macros... Would it be possible to declare a 
macro as a static member of a class or struct? Example:

struct Matrix
{
	macro foo(e) { e = 3; }
}

Matrix.foo(q);	// I didn't pick the names. Don't blame me for it. ;)

Thanks

I'm guessing probably not, as the current array-member-function syntax requires
parens. I don't think it would make lookup _much_ harder, though.

I'm too tired/lazy to look it up, but I could swear that there was a 
line in there saying that this functionality would not extend to macros.
