Overloading of assignment operators is deliberately omitted. I think its
benefits are swamped by the confusion and code bloat it leads to. Many of
the benefits in C++ of = overloading is to keep track of memory pointers.
This is irrelevant in D, which does automatic memory management.
Additionally, class objects in D are by reference, not by value, so an =
just copies the reference, not the members.
