Well, like I said, it never occurred to me that you even could print enums as 
strings in D, so I don't know how it's typically done. However, if it's as 
simple as that, I don't really see what the problem is. Sure, it would be nice 
if they printed as strings by default rather than the generally useless base 
type of int or whatever, but using to!string like that is quite straightforward.
