Right, I close this bug report. Issue 4997 covers the enhancement request.

Enums already have some built-in attributes, that cause some troubles. In 
Issue 4997 I have suggested a namespace named "meta", so you write
"MyEnum.meta.length". But then a problem is that MyEnum.meta.max breaks the
convention that D integral types have a "max" attribute.
