enum : string
{
    name0 = "betty",
    name1 = `max`,
    name2 = r"wysiwyg string",
    name3 = x"0A",
    name4 = x"00 AA BB CC DD EE FF 00",
    name5 = "hello " ~ `world`,
    name6 = "ab" "cdefg",
    name7 = "foo"c

    version(none)
    {
        name8 = "otherstring"
    }
}

dmd(DMD32 D Compiler v2.062) result:

$ dmd enum.d

  Error: found 'version' when expecting ','
  Error: basic type expected, not (
  Error: function declaration without return type. (Note that constructors are
always named 'this')
  Error: type only allowed if anonymous enum and no enum type
  Error: if type, there must be an initializer
  Error: found '{' when expecting ','
  Error: unrecognized declaration


Is it useful?

Example:

enum : string
{
    version(x) // for enum of type wstring or dstring
    {
        name0 = "dark"
    }
    version(y)
    {
        name0 = "bright"
    }
}
