Hardly. ! is not an overloadable operator in D, and ! has no binary operator 
meaning other than for template argument lists. I.e. it is not "reuse" at all.

Furthermore, iostreams' use of << is neither thread-safe nor exception-safe, 
though its designer could be forgiven because iostreams predates both concepts. 
The only interesting thing about iostreams is why it wasn't deprecated 20 years 
ago, despite being ugly, not thread-safe, not exception-safe, and slow.
