I disagree. dpaste has no association with this newsgroup and can

There is a significant difference between D and C++. In D, classes are 
reference types (not value types).

The equivalent in C++ of what you are trying to do would be overriding 
the assignment operator for class pointers, which is not possible in C++:

// C++ code:
X * x_ = new X() , // created:1 , alive: 1
   * x2 = x_      ; // created:1 , alive: 2 (not possible!)

Same limitation in D...
