I want this feature in D:

```
element.border = 1, solid;

struct Element
{
    property
   void border( int width, BorderStyle style )
   {
     this.borderWidth = width;
     this.borderStyle = style;
   }
}
```

Description:
```
element.border = 1, solid;
```

will rewriten to the

```
element.border(1, solid);
```

This is same as  property.
```
element.color  = 0xCCC;

 property void color( uint a ) { this._color = a; }
```

but with 2 arguments, and more.

It possible in current version 2.097 ?

I undestand what element.border = 1, solid; is element.border = 1; solid();

If you `import std.typecons` you can do: ```D element.border = tuple(1, solid).expand; ``` But it's not pretty. I suggest either calling the function regularly, or combing all settings in a single struct: ```D element.border = Border(/*width:*/ 1, /*solid*/ true); ``` Named arguments are not implemented yet, hence the comments.

Thank.

Yes.
