toString doesn't work on getter

[trusktr]

I have:

class Vector2 {
	public constructor(
		public x: f64 = 0,
		public y: f64 = 0
	) {}

	get X(): f64 {
		return this.x
	}
	set X(val: f64) {
		this.x = val
	}
}

const v = new Vector2(1, 2)
const x: string = v.x.toString() // works fine
const X: string = v.X.toString() // ERROR TS2339: Property 'toString' does not exist on type 'f64'.

The use of toString doesn't work on the result of the getter.

As a workaround, I can first save the result in a new var:

const _X = v.X
const X: string = _X.toString() // it works

This is a bigger issue than just toString and something that I have been meaning to make an issue about. The problem is the resolution of the property in the expression. Which is why your fix to separate the resolution into two steps fixed the issue.
