But in D, UFCS allows obj.func() to work for both member functions and

I don't like it.
When I see obj.func(), to me, func() is a member function. Why should I
spend any time trying to work out whether it's a member function or a
free function? It doesn't make sense to me.
If it's really a free function, I'd like that to be more explicit..
e..g
obj.\func(). (or something like that ..where \ means its a free function)
I once thought as you do (though not as the syntax you propose). I now
embrace UFCS fully, it's awesome.
