Why don't you just define it as "dot(a,b)" to begin with?

I think it would be better idea to just add the ability to add 
unicode operators, and to avoid precedence issues one could just 
require them to use parentheses. That way you could define 
opCustom"•" and use it as:

( point1 • point2 )

An often stated golden rule in language design is that there 
should be one way to do something. When you break that rule it 
often is due to a language design deficiency. UFCS in both D and 
C++ are hacks. IMO that makes things more confusing, not more 
clear.
