and you know what? people constantly trying to "fix" that. what is funny 
is that sometimes ugly kludges are even considered for inclusion into 
language ("multiple `alias this`, i'm looking at you! ah, and `alias 
this` for that matter).

i also wonder why we have `opCmp` and `opEquals` instead of `opEquals` 
and `opLess` only. having so powerful `opCmp` surely opens alot way to 
abuse it.
