Why would you do that?  You'll get an error if it's undefined, just like you 
would with #if in c/c++.
If you wanted to use existance of a symbol instead of an enum's value, 
static if(is(typeof())) should do the job.
Essentially, static if can already do what you're asking for, and is much 
more flexible.
