Compare this with this extract of your other posting:
>  opAddAssign(auto value) { _bar += value; }
>                // it's extremely extendable!

Yes it is extremely extentable because one can incorporate calls to 
some arbitrary functions into the body of `opAddAssign':

   opAddAssign(auto value) {
     _bar += value;
     action();
     procedure();
   }

... bang!!! Your "clear _VISUAL_ distinction" has been lost.
