Explicit casting of enum -- intentional restriction?

I just tried to compile an old project and the following failed:
---
enum Paths : string {
bitmapDir = "content/image",
fontDir = "content/font",
soundDir = "content/sound",
...
if (Paths.preferences.exists)
...
---
It turns out members of Paths are no longer implicitly converted
to string, and I needed to use
if ((cast(string)Paths.preferences).exists)
Is this an intentional limitation or a regression? I didn't see
it in the last few changelogs but I'll admit I didn't check them
rigorously.
