           Summary: Vector operations with bigints too

          Hardware: x86

I think this code should work (and be replaced by a loop by the front-end):


void main() {
    import std.bigint;
    BigInt[2] a;
    a[] += a[];
}


dmd 2.067alpha:

test.d(4,9): Error: invalid array operation 'a[] += a[]' because BigInt doesn't
support necessary arithmetic operations
