Yes, but emulating that behavior is difficult. And array ops are still  
buggy and broken to the degree of not being usable. In theory you  
shouldn't need to define a small vector or matrix in D: fixed size arrays  
are value types, array op support and free functions as member function  
support. In practice, though, we still need it.
