This behaves differently, w.r.t. to an arbitrary method, like 
"operator". Why? Is there any workaround?

operators don't follow pointers.

Imagine if you had a struct that overloads "+" and then you 
wanted to use pointer arithmetic, but instead it called 
ptr.opBinary.

Ah!

The workaround is to dereference the pointer. e.g. 42 in *sptr;
