Looking at the Kindle spec there appears to be an error in the section for structs called Assignment Overload.

S* opAssign (ref const S s) {
   a = s.a;
}

gives an error:
Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (this) of type S to S*

S opAssign (ref const S s) {

does compile.

Of course, there is also the return statement:

    return this;

You are right. The documentation is wrong.
