Okay, I understand this is sometimes really annoying, but in this 
example, why can't you just:

```d
import std.stdio;

enum MySuperLongNameFlag : int
{
     A = 0b0001,
     B = 0b0010,
     C = 0b0100,
     D = 0b1000,
}

void set_flags(MySuperLongNameFlag f) {}

void main()
{
     with (MySuperLongNameFlag)
     {
         auto flag = A | B | C | D;
         set_flags(A | B | C | D);

         writefln("%04b", flag);
     }
}

```
