Use `void opOpAssign(string op, T)(auto ref T t);` model to 
overload "DivAssisng" and "MulAssign". The compiler will 
instantiate the function template with the right `op` and `T` 
info when used in the code. These template parameters can be 
tested in a `static if` expression. See 
http://ddili.org/ders/d.en/operator_overloading.html for learning 
D operator overloads.
