Are there any plans to have global operator overloading in D?
It would be terribly useful with ranges, since std.array already define range
primitives for arrays, I tried to implement array primitives to ranges the same
way, ie:
---
bool opEquals(T, U)(T t, U, u) if(isInputRange!T && isInputRange!U) {
return equal(t, u);
}
---
so I wouldnt have to change every a==b to equal(a, b) when using ranges where
built-in arrays were previously used.
Of course if theres another way to do it (other than manually adding opEquals
and others to every range declaration in phobos), feel free to suggest it.
