Description
If you have an item `foo` but you forget it's an item and you reference it as a property (`$(foo)`), then MSBuild will just evaluate it to an empty string. This adds to the time it takes to debug the build.
To make debugging easier, MSBuild should emit a warning: "You are referencing the item foo as a property".
