In fact, opDot exists, but it is superseded by alias this (probably not  
exactly what you are looking for).

opDispatch is exactly what you want, and it should work, but you have to  
jump through the right hoops.

It also has some severe limitations and incorrect implementation (like  
many newer D features).
