"This language is garbage collected, and they're _fucking
ashamed_ of that!"

This guy is surprisingly perceptive and 100% accurate with his
cutting observations hahaha.

Why didn't his operator overloading experiment work?

struct S {
int x;
}

// non-member opBinary

S opBinary(string s : "+")(S lh, S rh) {
return S(lh.x + rh.x);
}

void main()
{
S a, b;
S s1 = a.opBinary!"+"(b); // <- UFCS works, as expected
S s2 = a + b; // ERROR: doesn't work! why not? the rewrite should work via UFCS as above...
}

I can't imagine any good reason his experiment should have failed. I would want this too when extern to a C lib; it hasn't come up for me before, but if it did, I would log a bug instantly.
