These, of course, are C++ operators that are replace with the .

these operators get left behind, and sometimes I simply
reflexively type them into D code.
The error message coming out of dmd could be better. I suggest
recognizing -> and :: in the lexer, and saying something like:
"The '->' operator is not in D, did you mean '.'?"
Anyone want to do a PR for this? (Should be pretty
straightforward.)
