Static operator overloads (again)

Example:

public class Test
{
        public char[] Name;

        public static Test opAddAssign(Test value)
        {
                writefln(value.Name);
                //TODO...
        }
}

int Main()
{
        Test t;
        Test b = new Test();
        b.Name = "foo"

        t += b; // Translates to:   Test.opAddAssign(b);

}

The problem with this though is that there is no access to the lvalue t 
this is because t+=b; translates to Text.opAddAssign(b);  I would like to propose a feature that given the operator overload:

 public static Test opAddAssign(Test lvalue, Test rvalue)
 {
 }

then

t += b; 

would translate to: 

Test.opAddAssign(t,b);

I really think this would benefit the language, without breaking anything since the compiler can distinguish between single and double parameter static operator overloads.
