Yeah, but should the old method override the new one?

I assumed one nice thing about "backwards compatibility" is you could do  
something like this:

T opOpAssign(string op)(T other) if (op == "+=")
{
    return opAddAssign(other);
}

But this function never gets called.  I found out recently that template  
functions are not allowed in interfaces, which makes it impossible to use  
the new operator overloads on interfaces.
