Summary: Merge stc.typecons.defineEnum with enum
Product: D
Version: 2.014
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Keywords: spec
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5
Component: DMD
AssignedTo: bugzilla at digitalmars.com

I find that nearly (if not) every enum in my code is defined using
std.typecons.defineEnum for the toString() and fromString() functionality.
I'd suggest moving this into the language itself. Like Objects, an enum will
have a .toString property which does exactly what is defined on the defineEnum
mixin.
The fromString() isn't as important, but since we're at it, why not do the full
round?
Defining enums with this mixin wrecks chaos on IDE parsers, as I try to use
"MsgType" as a variable type and the IDE's parser never knows of it.
