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.
