extra operators on a type to cover most cases.

I actually thought about it more, and D does have a bunch of 
binary operators that no ones uses. You can make all sorts of 
weird operators like +*, *~, +++, ---, *--, /++, ~~, ~-, -~, 
>>>--, &++, ^^+, in++, |-, %~, ect...

void main(string[] args){
        test a;
        test b;
        a +* b;
}
struct test{
        private struct testAlpha{
                test payload;
        }
        testAlpha opUnary(string s : "*")(){
                return testAlpha(this);
        }
        void opBinary(string op : "+")(test rhs){
                writeln("+");
        }
        void opBinary(string op : "+")(testAlpha rhs){
                writeln("+*");
        }
}
