Kenji is awesome!! So I just figured out that the reason my previous
attempts didn't work, was because the opCmp that DMD is looking for to
include in the typeinfo must be declared BEFORE all of the other opCmp
overloads, otherwise it won't find it. So adding:

	int opCmp(ref const S s) const { ... }

*before* the templated versions of opCmp solved the problem. It's ugly
but at least it works.

OTOH, this appears to be one of those places where order of declaration
matters. :-(
