IIRC, it's quiet because it was originally a bug. Albeit a very popular 
one. And that's why it only works in a peculiar subset of cases.
Even for arrays, it doesn't work for operator overloading, unfortunately.
I wonder if Walter's worked out why it works <g>. (Mind you, the list of 
Easter eggs that have appeared in D is getting pretty impressive -- 
maybe it's a half-implemented feature rather than a bug).

It would indeed be fabulous if it worked all cases.
