Hmm well, you don't need to convert anything (like ushort to 
string etc), you can compare the fields between these 2 classes 
directly:

import std.stdio;
import std.socket;

class myIA : InternetAddress{
     this(in char[] addr, ushort port){
         super(addr, port);
     }
	
     bool opEquals(myIA obj){
         foreach (i, v; this.tupleof) {
             if(v != obj.tupleof[i]){
                 return false;
             }
         }
         return true;
     }
}

void main(){
   auto addr1 = new myIA("192.168.0.1", 80);
   auto addr2 = new myIA("192.168.0.1", 80);
   assert(addr1.opEquals(addr2));
}

Overall I understood your point/pain, but unfortunately this is 
what I could do to manage your problem (I'm using D heavily for a 
couple months now).

I'll continue looking over this thread to see what the experts 
will say. :)
