opDollar is more powerful because it can be made to work with infinite

Yes, this is important. IMHO, though, the default behavior of the $
operator should be to call range.length if it exists and opDollar isn't
explicitly overloaded. This would save a lot of boilerplate.
struct MyRange
{
...
alias length opDollar;
}
I do agree that most of the time this is what you want anyway, so that
line would occur a lot of times...
This works if opDollar is expected to be a niladic function. For multi-
dimensional structures, it would have to be monadic.
