Walter has requested that I make this forum post to inform the
community of this change in an effort to discuss its merits
and/or shortcomings.
We ask for your comments whether they be in approval or
disapproval of this pull request so we can determine the best
way forward.
Thanks for the heads up. I think this would have been good for a
DIP, to better guard against bad interplay with other D
constructs.
I've added to the PRs a few comments that immediately came to
mind.
It seems you already spent some time trying to break the new
mechanics, that's good. But perhaps we need some more breakage
;-) (for example I think we can dig a little deeper down the
opBinary hole)
