Alright, I've finished the basic functionality of my AA implementation.
I still haven't solved that problem with using suffixless string
literals to index X[dstring], so you'll have to write aa["abc"d]
instead
of just aa["abc"]. But I thought I should post my code now so that
people can take a look at it:

Thanks for tackling the AA problem.
I have one slight issue / comment regarding AAs: I really dislike the
idea of cramming everything under the sun into object.d. In general,
cramming lots'o'code into a single mega file is a code smell which
Phobos greatly stinks from.
At the very least, object.d can publicly import your newAA.d module
which gives the exact same outcome while keeping separate features
separate.
I think object.d should be empty except for the definition of Object.
The rest should be located in their own modules and publicly imported in
object.d
I think the compiler would have to change for that to happen.
I would support such a change, but then again, it seems like we'd get
little measurable benefit for it, making it difficult to get through
