I'm afraid I don't know what you're driving at with those examples.
It is a single example. It shows that when UCFS and the lack of operator
-> try to play together, the result is no longer as simple and elegant
as one tries to sell them. It was given as a response to Andrei's
request for examples of cross-features interference causing complexity.
There is no UFCS in that example, and the -> operator would only affect
the "Okay" case.
The "Not okay" case fails because there is no free function "method". It
would fail even if D didn't have UFCS and if it had the -> operator.
