Actually, if the above hypothesis is true, then probably 'this' should be
const, too:
  int opCmp(const MyStruct x) const { ... }
(if that's how you make this constant in D2 these days...}

There might be another problem, though, with the most recent D2, since 'this'
is now a reference.  As mentioned in bug 1861, using ref arguments in your
opCmp never worked with .sort, this might affect D2 now that this is a
reference.
