I think that proposed names exactly reflect the meaning. So I would
say it is perfectly consistent with D convention.
Dollars are money, but opDollar is not a member function that
returns the price of a struct. So I don't agree with you, or I don't
understand what you mean.

I agree. opDollar is not particularly fitting to D language operator
concept. opLength/opSize would fit better.
Unfortunately $ is not necessarily the length, nor the size. It might
not even be an arithmetic type.
opEnd, then?
That was the only other viable suggestion. But I don't think it's very
intuitive -- eg, it sounds like there ought to be an opBegin(); why
isn't it used for ranges?; etc.
I'd go for opLength() if it really was a length, but it's not.
The big thing in favour of opDollar() is that everyone instantly knows
exactly what it means.
