 	Also, if you combine this with my new arsd.script module, you get pretty
 	easy interop with a little scripting language that resembles a cross between
 	D and Javascript - just like you can write in D itself using this type.
+
+
+	Properties:
+		* note that @property doesn't work right in D, so the opDispatch properties
+		  will require double parenthesis to call as functions.
+
+		* Properties inside a var itself are set specially:
+			obj.propName._object = new PropertyPrototype(getter, setter);
+
+	D structs can be turned to vars, but it is a copy.
+
+	Wrapping D native objects is coming later, the current ways suck. I really needed
+	properties to do them sanely at all, and now I have it. A native wrapped object will
+	also need to be set with _object prolly.
