This is a good description of how D project is organized, I often face some
strange behavior of dmd and such idea comes to my mind.

Regarding issue - I think that it moves UFCS beyond its purpose and looks like
extending UFCS for operator overloaded function which I consider a bad idea.

Better option I think is to move discussion to forum or to write a DIP which
has recommended itself as a structured process of proposing. Bugzilla and
github discussions are not suitable for significant language changes (do you
remember threads about alias T = A syntax after semi-silent depreciation in git
pull?).
