As far as I know, the only reason for that is that "should" is monkey 
patched on every class. This can cause problems if "method_missing" is 
implemented. D doesn't have this problem since "should" is not monkey 
patched on anything. In this code "should" is implemented like a free 
function and UFCS is used to get the same syntax as in Ruby. If there 
are problems with opDispatch/alias this (the D version of 
method_missing) then the regular function call syntax can be used.
