  I wasn't too - it is not mentioned anywhere, just tried it.

  Well, the fact is - it maps. If I've static opAssign() defined, it is called when I assign something to an object.

  Even more fun - static opAdd() maps too, and - wow! - if it returns new object, i.e. construction like:

	X x;
	x = x + 3;

  then it will allocate new instance of X, where: static typeof(this) opAdd(int i) { return new X(i); }

  I am impressed... :)
