If you try to use it in the manner of `something in
classWhichDefinesThisOpBinary` then it doesn't work because operator
overloading normally overloads on the left operand (ie something). Use
opBinaryRight(string op)(...) if(...) to get it working.
Aaah. That makes sense. And works.
*But*: I copied my code from Phobos :D If you search for "in", with the
quotes, in std/container.d, you'll find two occurrences. The actual live
use (in RedBlackTree) is opBinaryRight (which makes sense), but in the
dummy class, TotalContainer, which is described as "an unimplemented
container that illustrates a host of primitives that a container may
define", uses just opBinary. The doc-comment says that "$(D k in
container) returns true if the given key is in the container".
So ... a "bug", I guess? (One that isn't really executed -- but
still...) Worth reporting?
Anwyay: Thanks for the clarification :)
Definitely report it.
