           Summary: Array comparison throws 'TypeInfo.equals is not
                    implemented'
           Product: D

When struct's member field's type has non-const opEquals defined, comparing
arrays of these structs throws an exception with not very helpful error
message.

struct A {
    bool opEquals(A s) { return false; }
}

struct B {
    A a;
}

void main(){
    A a1, a2;
    if (a1 == a2) {}     //ok
    if ([a1] == [a2]) {} //ok
    B b1, b2;
    if (b1 == b2) {}     //ok
    if ([b1] == [b2]) {} // throws object.Error: TypeInfo.equals is not
implemented
}

Making opEquals const gets rid of the exception.

It's not clear why it happens at runtime as opposed to compile time, and the
message doesn't really explain what's going on.
