That's a very fine distinction.  One that may not survive future
evolution of the D language, and may not respected by other
implementations of the D language.  (I /should/ be removed.  Having
different rules for operators and functions unnecessarily complicates
the language.)  Code that depends on this distinction is highly fragile.
 It should not be possible to write code that depends on this distinction.
