But is the effort worth it? Will the DIP and PR be assessed? Does it
have any chance of success? Is there any chance of this long standing
position of D on overloading operators being overturned?

Saying "Go prepare a DIP" is both indicating the right thing to do, but
also a mechanism of deflecting the idea from having any chance of
success at all.

So does a well prepared DIP have a chance of changing D's operator
overloading or not?
