Since UFCS, but DMD does not implement it.
There is nothing in the spec about supporting operator
overloading with free functions, so I don't know where you get
the idea that it's even intended to be a feature. UFCS applies to
functions which use the member function call syntax, and
operators aren't used that way. There is no plan whatsoever to
support operator overloading via free functions.
