The whole point is that there's nothing wrong with how % works, since there is
no standard definition for it, and D implements it in one of the ways that's
very common, even if it's not what you might what. And it's not worth adding
another operator for another variation of how modulus could work. A function
does the job just fine. It's not something that merits yet another operator.

At this point, unless there's a huge advantage in putting something in the
language, we're just not going to do it. Some features may merit that, but
something that a simple function can easily do doesn't.
