No, there isn't a way to write an operator.
OK, first choice eliminated.

I like it. The inline pragma eliminates the extra overhead of the
function call, which was another objective. (And it introduces me
to D's pragmas too.)
Personally, I find this:
if ( not( abra && cadabra )) ...
to be more clear than:
if ( !( abra && cadabra )) ...
I guess it depends on what one is used to. I do recognize that
this would be non-standard for D, but I'm still going to use it
because I find it more readabile.
I should add that this one made me laugh though, giving
flashbacks to that horrible "not speak" of the early 90s:
if ( configfile.isFile.not ) ...
LOL
I've learned multiple things from this posting. Thank you all for
sharing your suggestions.
