Where do I apply for the medal :-)

import std.stdio;
class Test
{
    string Name;

    static Test opAddAssign(ref Test lvalue, ref Test rvalue)
    {
        if (lvalue is null)
        {
            lvalue = new Test();
            lvalue.Name = "foo";
        }
        if (rvalue is null)
        {
            rvalue = new Test();
            rvalue.Name = "bar";
        }

        writefln("%s", lvalue.Name);
        writefln("%s", rvalue.Name);

        return rvalue;
    }
}

void main()
{
    Test T;
    Test B;
    Test.opAddAssign(T,B);
}
