Well I agree it is ugly, but at least it's better than having the same 
enum 7 times in Phobos (std.stdio.KeepTerminator, 
std.string.CaseSensitive, std.algorithm.OpenRight, 
std.algorithm.SortOutput, std.datetime.AllowDayOverflow, 
std.datetime.PopFirst, std.datetime.AutoStart).

If named parameter is supported, those Flag!"foo" parameters can be 
reverted back to bool without breaking the caller as the enum is based 
on bool.
