In the latest D2 release, if a struct implements a destructor, the

conflicts with user-defined, templated opAssigns.

struct Value {

   void opAssign(T)(T value) {}

   ~this() {}

}

Error: function Value.opAssign conflicts with template Value.opAssign(T)

The first opAssign in the error message is the compiler-generated one. 
If I define multiple non-templated opAssigns, the problem goes away - 
shouldn't we be allowed to have it both ways?

Template functions and regular functions are supposed to overload agains 
each other in D2, but I'm not sure if that's implemented yet.  If/when it's 
implemented I'd imagine that it'd work.
