Whoa wait a second...I didn't know you could do this. I thought everything had to inherit from the object class. Can you share the syntax to define a class that doesn't derive from object?
Currently, you cannot. Everything inherits from Object. I personally think this is not the best idea. But it's not that horrible either, so probably not worth a big change.
But you can just ignore it. You can put on your opCmp all the attributes you want and forget about it inheriting from Object. You can decide to never write a method that takes Object. Always take the root of your sub-hierarchy, so that you know what attributes you have. If it derives from Object or not, nobody cares as long as your sub-root overrides all opXXX with new (even abstract) declarations that have @nogc.
