Mee too. The following is the minimum amount of code I used, which compiles:

import std.traits;
import std.range;

struct Index(T = size_t) if (isUnsigned!T)
{
     this(T ix) { this._ix = ix; }
     T opCast(U : T)() const { return _ix; }
     private T _ix = 0;
}

mixin template genOps(T)
{
     auto ref opIndex(T i) inout { return _r[cast(size_t)i]; }
     auto ref opIndexAssign(V)(V value, T i) { return _r[cast(size_t)i] 
= value; }
     static if (hasSlicing!R)
     {
         auto ref opSlice(T i, T j) inout { return _r[cast(size_t)i ..
                                                      cast(size_t)j]; }
         auto ref opSliceAssign(V)(V value, T i, T j) { return 
_r[cast(size_t)i ..
 
cast(size_t)j] = value; }
     }
}

struct IndexedBy(R, string I = "Index") if (isArray!R)
{
     mixin(q{ struct } ~ I ~
           q{ {
                   alias T = size_t;
                   this(T ix) { this._ix = ix; }
                   T opCast(U : T)() const { return _ix; }
                   private T _ix = 0;
               }
           });
     mixin genOps!(mixin(I));
     R _r;
     alias _r this; // TODO Use opDispatch instead; to override only 
opSlice and opIndex
}

void main()
{
     auto i = IndexedBy!(int[])();
}
