This is confusing as :: is used to separate scopes in C++ (and PHP too).
The first thing it reminded me of was Lua, where a single colon makes
the left hand side into the first argument of the function on the right.
foo:bar(x) ==> bar.(foo, x)
So it felt kinda familiar to me ^^

That is almost like UFCS in D.
int foo(string x, int y) { return x.length - y; }
assert (foo("testing", 3) == 4);
assert ("testing".foo(3) == 4);
But OP's proposal is restricted to __traits only.
__traits is a relatively advanced part of the language, plus many of its
features has already been exposed via the library std.traits, e.g.
std.traits.hasMember!(S, "m"), I don't think it really needs a very
short syntax.
