Why not allow equality operators to operate on types?
That's nice, of course. But is it possible?
Yes, certainly.
Not without losing the context insensitivity of the D grammar

semantically understand the program, but as it is now we
understand it as comparing two values). That's a big thing to
throw away, and this doesn't justify the change.
