digitalmars.D - Pseudo Members

reply "Vadim Goryunov" <vadim.goryunov gmail.com> writes:
In "The D programming language" chapter 5.9.1 Pseudo Members 
Andrei says that D rewrites a.fun(b,c,d) as fun(a,b,c,d) if fun 
is not a member of a's type.
In the following example this is working for arrays only (T[]), 
but not for user defined class A.
Are pseudo members going to be implemented for user defined types 
eventually? Or is it considered a "hack" for arrays only?

class A {
      property int length() { return 0; }
}

 property bool empty(T)(T a) { return a.length == 0; }

unittest {
     int[] array;
     array.empty;

     auto obj = new A();
     obj.empty;   // Error: no property 'empty' for class 'Test.A'
}

compiler and the book:

Referring to that list and also the TDPL errata <
http://erdani.com/tdpl/errata/> can be helpful when you encounter something
in TDPL that isn't working.
