Wait, wait, did I miss something? Since when was operator overloading

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.
Specifying semantics via lowering is somewhat pointless if rewrites are
not transitive.
There is no plan whatsoever to support operator overloading via free functions.

Then specify operator overloading using __traits(getMember,...). (I
consider this unwise though.)
