From what I understand from TDPL, given a struct or object obj, writing

obj(x,y,z) will be translated to obj.opCall(x,y,z), correct? So why is
it that this doesn't work:

	struct S {
		RetVal delegate(Args args) opCall;
	}
	void main() {
		auto s = S((Args args) => doSomething(args));
		Args my_args;
		RetVal r = s(my_args);	// this is line 7
	}

I get this error: test.d(7): Error: struct S does not overload ()

An easy workaround is to rename the delegate "impl", then implement
opCall as a wrapper:

	RetVal opCall(Args args) { return impl.args; }

But this seems unnecessarily verbose to me.
