I'd like to second more flexibility around unary and binary 
operators, perhaps we can have another keyword for instance 
"record" that is essentially a D struct but allows the user to 
specify their own operators - it could be included unofficially 
at first without impacting the rest of the D language with the 
stipulation that it is not used in D's core libraries or in 
anything important. This functionality would allow notation 
native to different fields in analysis to be used.
