Description Sean Silva 2011-10-22 10:10:44 UTC 
The documentation about opAssign seems be incorrect:
http://d-programming-language.org/struct.html

It says:

> Struct assignment t=s is defined to be semantically equivalent to:
>   t = S.opAssign(s);

which I think should be `t.opAssign(s)`.

also, just below, the signature is stated as `S* opAssign(S s)`. According to this post on the newsgroup <http://www.digitalmars.com/pnews/read.php?server=news.digitalmars.com&group=digitalmars.D.learn&artnum=30203>, the correct signature should be `void opAssign(ref const S rhs)`.
