I've mentioned this before, but I think a constrained set of
user-defined operators using annotations/affixes on the existing
set is a better fit for D. It's a lesson well-learned from other
languages (cf. OCaml; F#), and fits with D's generally practical
bent.
I mean, if you want to alias them to Lucky Charms or various
hieroglyphs of birds disemboweling men later, I guess maybe
that's could work? But I really don't want any language features
predicated on the programmer having an APL keyboard.
