You mean, there are situations in which you want to be sure that you're 
using opDot and some in which you want to be sure you're not? The 
former, you can just write "foo.opDot.x", but not the latter.

I wonder how this works with overloads, too.

You mean, some sort of dynamic function call system? Like opDot(char[]) 
so you can do:
auto x = foo.bar; // calls foo.opDot("bar");
