Anyway, I dropped the suggestion due to the array slice example, but I
still think this is a serious problem with D.
If you could pass "this" by value instead of ref, it'd solve the problem
nicely:
struct MyRange {
MyRange opSlice(int, int) @byvalue;
void length(int) @property;
}
Here you can call opSlice on a lvalue since it takes the "this" argument
by value, but you can't call length(int) because it takes it by ref.
I've seen that. The only problem I see with that is that it complicates
the language. Ideally some sort of inference could be applicable.
