The point is that D does not have operator overloading for in-built

The bad thing about the global operator overloading is that it:
1. follows different scoping and lookup rules
2. was the motivation for ADL (aka "Koenig Lookup")
There was no way I was going to put ADL into D :-)
Makes sense, but I'd argue that whenever a.opBinaryRight!"+"(b) is
valid, then a + b should be valid. (Also, the converse. Built-in types
do not need to behave specially.)
