is there any reason UFCS can't be used with 'new'?

The following code works perfectly fine. The precedence of the
`new` operator was changed in a release a year or two ago.
class Button
{
typeof(this) text(string t)
{
return this;
}
typeof(this) textColour(int c)
{
return this;
}
}
void main()
{
auto b = new Button()
.text("Hello, world!")
.textColour(0xFF000000);
}
