Why would you use a bunch of daisy chained conditionals instead 
of a switch?

     with (Id) with (CppOperator) switch (id)
     {
         case _cast  : return Cast;
         case assign : return Assign;
         case eq     : return Eq;

etc..

IMO that is clearer, and likely faster, unless the compiler is 
smart enough to transform the daisy chain into a switch? What's 
the threshold on DMD for using a jump table? I think it's 3 or 4 
on LDC.
