That's not the way I interpret that. If 'a' is a numeric primitive type and 
can never have members, then 'fun' can never be a member of 'a', therefore 
the rewritten version should always get tried.

Unfortunately, at the moment, D2 is actually a little *further* from that 
universal ideal than D1 is:

"Regression(2.020) Array member call syntax can't find matches in current 
class"
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4525

When I converted some D1 code to D2 recently, I actually had to *remove* 
many of my array-member-call-syntax calls because of that bug.
