Weird, didn't know that that was even legal D.  I guess, after looking at 
the class spec, that it is, but it's not documented.

What's more, I can't reproduce it.

class A
{

}

class B : private A
{

}

void main()
{
 B b = new B;
 B b2 = new B;

 if(b == b2)
  writefln("knife!");
}

That works fine.  Is there something that your superclass D does perhaps 
that makes opEquals invisible?
