Why does opDispatch not forward to operators?

import std.stdio;
struct ArrayTypeA {
int[12] data;
size_t length() { return 12; }
auto opSlice(size_t s, size_t e) { return data[s .. e]; }
}
struct ArrayTypeB {
int[24] data;
auto opSlice(size_t s, size_t e) { return data[s.. e]; }
size_t length() { return 24; }
}
struct Array
{
union {
ArrayTypeA a = ArrayTypeA.init;
ArrayTypeB b;
}
bool isA = true;
auto opDispatch(string s, T...)(T args)
{
if(isA)
return __traits(getMember, a, s)(args);
else
return __traits(getMember, b, s)(args);
}
}
void main() {
Array ar;
writeln(ar.length); // compiles
writeln(ar[3 .. 5]); // does not
// /tmp/test.d(37): Error: Array cannot be sliced with []
}
I'd say, if something rewrites to MyType.opSlice than it's a case
for opDispatch, too.
