Say I have the following interfaces:

  interface Locus {
   int opEquals(Locus that);
  }
  interface Extents {
   int opEquals(Extents that);
  }
  interface Rectangle : Locus, Extents {
   int opEquals(Rectangle that);
  }

Given two objects that implement Rectangle, is there some syntax in D to allow
me to compare their Extents or Locus?  Maybe 
something along the lines of:

    Rectangle r1, r2;
    ...
    if (r1 == cast(Extents)r2) {
        // r1 has the same Extents as r2
        ...

This seems right to me, but I haven't written any OO in D yet.

Thanks,
Garett

I haven't actually tried compiling the code above, but it certainly 
seems reasonable to me.  Try compiling it, and tell us what you find!
