The rewrite is done long after lexing, so no low-level problems there.
Oh, I thought it would let you introduce new operators. But it's only
about the existing ones.
I find the idea to identify the operator using a string very sloppy and
sillyl just like using string mixins for small delegates in
std.algorithm etc.; but you'd probably say "it works and is useful" and
"it's short" and "it solves the current problem", so... whatever.
We're trying to improve on the current situation, which forces the user
to manually define a lot of small functions. If you have convincing
reasons to argue that the current state of affairs is actually better,
I'm all ears - both Walter and I could use less work, particularly if
the outcome sucks (see e.g. T[new]). Also, if you have ideas on how
things could be done in a way that you'd find not sloppy and not silly,
that would be even better.
