Not all of them work. Here's a few examples:

	enum { d= 3, e = 7 }
	int [] a=[1,2];
	bool c;
	auto k=[e]; // kills =
	a ~= c?[d]:[e]; // kills ?
	int [] f = c?k:[e]; // kills :
	if (f>[e]) {}   // kills <
	if (f<[e]) {}   // kills >
	auto g = (k,[d]); // kills comma
	auto h = k~[d]; // kills ~

Array ops will kill + - * / & | % ^
Suddenly the list looks pretty short.
