Array operation with boolean operator

Yet in D the only accepted syntax to perform a vector op sum is 
to use add square brackets both operands:


void main() {
     auto a = new int[5];
     auto b = new int[5];
     auto c = new int[5];
     c[] = a[] + b[]; // OK
     c[] = a + b; // Error: invalid array operation
     c[] = a[] + b; // Error: invalid array operation
     c[] = a + b[]; // Error: invalid array operation
}
