Interfaces offer runtime resolution:

will work with anything that meets the specs for comparable.

For compile time resolution you can do this

Thanks QAston for your constructive and helpful suggestion. 
Actually this is more or less the approach that I'm following 
(researching for the time being).

Actually I assume that Prof. Meyer was at that point at some 
time, too. He just happened, so it seems, to have figured out a 
way to do polymorphism right and painfree. Pragmatically this 
(your suggestion) pretty closely matches how one approaches it in 
Eiffel (but don't tell Prof. Meyer! He'll probably vehemently 
elaborate on theory *g).

Whatever, that's basically what I wanted. Although I have to 
lament somewhat that D's doc (as far as I know) doesn't point 
that out clearly.

Thanks.
