Re: is there any reason UFCS can't be used with 'new'?

i want to chain 'new' with method calls on the created object. 
i found this on the internet:

window.mainWidget = (new Button()).text("Hello 
world"d).textColor(0xFF0000);

it would look much nicer with UFCS:

window.mainWidget = Button.new().text("Hello 
world"d).textColor(0xFF0000);

well, it's not *exactly* UFCS but you get what i mean.

The following code works perfectly fine. The precedence of the 
`new` operator was changed in a release a year or two ago.

class Button
{
        typeof(this) text(string t)
        {
                return this;
        }
        
        typeof(this) textColour(int c)
        {
                return this;
        }
}

void main()
{
        auto b = new Button()
                    .text("Hello, world!")
                    .textColour(0xFF000000);
}
