Not to that it is my goal to be a pain, but the example I
provided *does* overload opAssign (and the CC), but it *doesn't*
work.

Notice the error message is:
"Error: tests[4] isn't mutable"
Which is simply not true.

The default assignment operator, when trying to do an assignment 
creates:
"Error: variable XXX cannot modify struct with immutable members."
But that is not what we are seeing.

It appears that when writting:
tests[4] = Test("Foobar");
It *looks* like compiler is eliding the opAssign/CC completely,
opting for a bit copy, which is illegal.
