digitalmars.D.learn - Does it make sense to add attribute to operator overload functions ?

Everything is in the Q. I ask this because those functions are hidden behind symbols and keywords (+=, ~, in, etc.). It's not that obvious for a user who would write a custom type. e.g: ----------- struct myType { safe nothrow opIndexAssign(t1 paramValue,t2 paramIndex){} } ----------- are the attributes necessary ? Are opXXX functions handled just like any other functs ? (traversal compat. of the attribs)
