Description bearophile_hugs 2013-06-10 04:49:26 UTC 
I suggest to introduce a warning that lists all the usages of the old-style operator overloading.

(Later they will become deprecated, and then they will be removed (or conditionally compiled out for D2 if you want to keep the code for D1 for some more time)).

Rationale: to simplify the D2 compiler.

Cases like in this thread show that it's important to give a warning now:
