Hi,
Why is there no opIndexDispatch for overloading a[x].func() ?

I could not understand the question fully but would using an element 
proxy work?

import std.stdio;

struct ElementProxy {
    size_t index;

    void opDispatch(string name, Args...)(Args args) {
        writefln("%s() is called for index %s with args %s", name, 
index, [ args ]);
    }
}

struct A {
    auto opIndex(size_t index) {
        return ElementProxy(index);
    }
}

void main() {
    auto a = A();
    a[0].foo(42);
    a[1].bar("hello", "world");
}

Prints

foo() is called for index 0 with args [42]
bar() is called for index 1 with args ["hello", "world"]
