Seems that these methods should be rooted out from Object, and
placed in respective interfaces like:
-----
interface Equatable(T) {
bool opEquals(T value);
}

Then it would be a lot more simple. People who want equality
check, will implement interface with right type, for example
Equatable!Object.
Yup, it's been proposed, but nothing's come of it yet. Here's
Andrei's DIP on ProtoObject, which apparently is untouched for
over two years now:

The main problem with solving this issue is doing so will break
all code that uses the current system. This is clearly suboptimal.
