I've not seen it being mentioned at all and I can't get it to work:

void foo (Object o) { }

void main ()
{
	Object o = new Object;
	o.foo();
}

Compiling the above with dmd trunk results in:
main.d(8): Error: no property 'foo' for type 'object.Object'

Looking at 
http://www.dsource.org/projects/dmd/browser/trunk/src/expression.c#L6483 
it seems it's not implemented.
