I haven't really ever felt the need for such things. It would require 
editor support and I think that it could hinder readability as one would 
have to know that symbol 'x' is say, crossproduct. -- It isn't always, 
it depends on the mathematical domain.

There are, I belive, far more pressing matters, and this feature would 
make editor support a bit more difficult, and we are currently in the 
days where there isn't enough editor and/or ide support for D. I would 
personally prefer it not be added to the language in the near future, 
this is of course only my perferance, which in honesty may be biased but 
isn't entirely for self reasons.
