would look much better than

{
   static if(op=="+" || op == "-")
   {
      ...
   }
   else static if(op == "*")
   {
      ...
   }
   else
   {
      ...
   }
}

You can simply make it different overloads:

T opOpAssign(string op, T)(T x) if(op=="+" || op=="-")
{
   ...
}

T opOpAssign(string op, T)(T x) if(op=="*" || op=="/" || op=="%")
{
  ...
}

etc.
