import std.bigint: BigInt;
void main() {
    auto r1 = BigInt(10) / true;
    auto r2 = BigInt(10) /= true;
}


DMD 2.061alpha gives:

...\dmd2\src\phobos\std\bigint.d(135): Error: operation not allowed on bool 'y'
...\dmd2\src\phobos\std\bigint.d(258): Error: template instance
std.bigint.BigInt.opOpAssign!("/",bool) error instantiating
test.d(3):        instantiated from here: opBinary!("/",bool)
test.d(3): Error: template instance std.bigint.BigInt.opBinary!("/",bool) error
instantiating


If this operation is not allowed, then maybe it's better to disallow it
statically (maybe with a template constraint), to give a nicer/more clean error
message.
