struct A {
    bool opEquals(int x) {
        return false;
    }
}

Compiler says:

Error: function test.A.opEquals type signature should be const bool(ref
const(A)) not bool(int x)

The compiler should accept any signature for opEquals. All it needs to do is
rewrite a == b into a.opEquals(b) or b.opEquals(a).

For classes I'm doubtful that opEquals needs to be const.
