Oh. Definitely. And if the appropriate unit tests are there (as they should
be), then changing isSomeString should actually break them until those
functions are fixed to take the isSomeString changes into account. But I'd much
rather have the rare function which cares about differentiating between enums
and their base types (e.g. std.conv.to) checks for that itself that make every
function which doesn't care do the checking.
