Hello again,

I started to be found of defining types which basically are arrays with free functions, instead of creating a struct or class with methods. Not only we still have pseudo-method syntax (for arrays only), but this allows customizing the type when needed.
But: is there a way to define functions corresponding to language operations (opEquals, opIndex, toString...) without creating a true type?

Thank you,
Denis

You may find some trick to do something like that, but it's not how D is supposed to be used. In D operators belong in a struct/class/enum. "alias this" sometimes helps.
