Is there any way with D to define custom binary operators for user-defined
types? I'm thinking of examples like MATLAB/Octave using the operators .+, .-,
etc. to define element-wise addition, subtraction, etc. of matrices.
AFAICS just doing something like
auto opBinary(string op, T)(T rhs)
if (op == ".+")
{
...
}
... won't work, because the parser won't accept a code line like
auto c = a .+ b;
... but is there some way to make this work?
Assuming that it's not possible to define custom operators in regular code, I
guess the alternative is to use templates to ensure an override of the regular +
operator?
