Here is my issue: I've found a formula on Wikipedia.
It's called **Hashing by division**.
As you can see it uses **mod** keyword to achieve the modulus
operation.
In D language we use modulus operator `%` and it might look
more like this:
```
h(x) M % m
```
This clearly introduces confusion between the source
(wikipedia) and the implementation (dlang version).
I would like to know how we could define/alia ourselves a
`mod` operator in D Language.
```
h(x) M mod m
```

**This might lead to less gaps between math formulas and the
implementation.**
Or at the very least would allow to define a formula in the
source code for further implementation and introduce some
consistency.
https://dlang.org/spec/operatoroverloading.html#binary
Overloading seems to only overload behaviour of existing
operator, like:
```
+ - * / % ^^ &
| ^ << >> >>> ~ in
```
I'm unable to see how the operator overloading would allow to
define a new custom operator.
