Static operator overloads are possible why?

I don't know what you mean by this I tried

public class Test
{
    public char[] Name;

    public Test opAddAssign(Test value)
    {
        writefln(value.Name);
        writefln(Test.Name);
        //...
    }
}

It didnt work

DFL huh? there is another thing that went under the radar... Its a shame there is no "distribution" of D

Anyway I am not looking for a solution to the problem of how to create a multicast delegate class in D I am trying to solve the meta problem, of how to access an lvalue in a static operator overload.
