Of course it's a bug, or at least a missing feature - there is no
justification for putting performance deathtraps in the way of using
domains.

How?
Type-dependent selection of operators has already been done as part of
parse analysis, no? And the domain -> base conversion is purely a
relabelling, no? So what semantic change is possible as a result?
