I can see one potential reason to use opBinary("==") and that is to collect binary operator code in one place.

Currently dmd checks that and turns == into opEquals, should never become opBinary!("==")

What I meant was, opEquals could forward to opBinary, but if it's disallowed by the compiler, then that's not possible. Also, if you defined opBinary like this:

auto opBinary(string op)(const ref T rhs)
{
...
}

Then should the compiler disallow this? opBinary!("==") will compile. I just think it's overkill to restrict what functions are valid arbitrarily.
