hi,
why not to cast class variable to char[] automatically?

NewClass {
NewClass opAdd() {...}
NewClass opDiv() {...}
char[] toString() {...}
}

NewClass v1 = new NewClass();
NewClass v2 = new NewClass();

// This is more readable (java way):
printf("v1+v2="~(v1+v2)~"  v1/v2="~(v1/v2)~" \n");

// Then D way:
printf("v1+v2="~(v1+v2).toString()~"  v1/v2="~(v1/v2).toString()~" \n");
