Make some zero-argument getters properties.

[spyoungtech]

There are a number of methods in the API that take no arguments, do no modifications, and return only scalar values.

For example, retrieving the components of a zoned or datetime:

tempus.ahk/tempus.ahk

Lines 617 to 633 in fd8112c

	year() {
	return DllCall("tempus_ahk\zoned_year", "Ptr", this.pointer, "Short")
	}
	month() {
	return DllCall("tempus_ahk\zoned_month", "Ptr", this.pointer, "Char")
	}
	day() {
	return DllCall("tempus_ahk\zoned_day", "Ptr", this.pointer, "Char")
	}
	hour() {
	return DllCall("tempus_ahk\zoned_hour", "Ptr", this.pointer, "Char")
	}
	minute() {
	return DllCall("tempus_ahk\zoned_minute", "Ptr", this.pointer, "Char")
	}
	second() {
	return DllCall("tempus_ahk\zoned_second", "Ptr", this.pointer, "Char")

It might be more natural for these to be accessed as simple properties. For example, instead of:

#Include "tempus.ahk"

dt := DateTime.parse("2025-02-27T01:02:03")

; normally we would use `strftime`, but for sake of example...
result := Format("{}/{}/{}", dt.year(), dt.month(), dt.day())
MsgBox(result)

These are essentially getters that could just use properties instead:

#Include "tempus.ahk"

dt := DateTime.parse("2025-02-27T01:02:03")

; normally we would use `strftime`, but for sake of example...
result := Format("{}/{}/{}", dt.year, dt.month, dt.day)
MsgBox(result)

This feels a bit more natural.

AutoHotkey provides class objects with the ability to define properties in the following forms:

class ClassName {
    Property[Parameters]  ; Use brackets only when parameters are present.
    {
        get {
            return value of property
        }
        set {
            Store or otherwise handle value
        }
    }
    
    ShortProperty
    {
        get => Expression which calculates property value
        set => Expression which stores or otherwise handles value
    }
    
    ShorterProperty => Expression which calculates property value
}

So getters like year() could perhaps better rewritten as properties. Maybe something like:

    year => DllCall("tempus_ahk\zoned_year", "Ptr", this.pointer, "Short")
